So i am using a class to validate a form request for a facebook profile
public function rules()
{
return [
EditProfilePage::$facebook_profile_url => 'url|regex:https://www.facebook.com/.+',
];
}
Using the above regex returns the following error
preg_match(): Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash
Does anyone know a suitable regex I can use to accomplish this. A facebook profile url can be in the following form:
https://www.facebook.com/user.name https://www.facebook.com/username
As far as I know you have to write out the full regex when using Form Validation, like the below example.
return [
EditProfilePage::$facebook_profile_url => 'url|regex:/http(?:s):\/\/(?:www\.)facebook\.com\/.+/i'
];
You might also try including the rules as an array instead of a piped string.
