So, I'm in a situation where users have photo galleries where they can add really any number of photos. So, my HTML looks something like this:
...input name="photo_gallery[]" type="file"...
...input name="photo_gallery[]" type="file"...
...input name="photo_gallery[]" type="file"...
So on and so forth, there could be 15 of those in theory, or none. My question is, how do I go about validating something like this? Obviously I need to make sure an actual image is uploaded, etc.
I should note that I'm also using Laravel 5.
I regularly have this problem too and there is no solution (in my knowlege) except constructing a rule array based on the number of fields in the input array. (you can write rules like 'photos.1.name', 'photos.2.name', etc...).
Please someone hack the validator to handle this usecase.
This post meets this one.
Not sure if you can use this in this case: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/handling-radio-button-values-in-forms-where-the-name-attribute-is-an-array
You can use an index for each one which in theory, could be easier to validate
Yeah I guess, only way around it is a foreach or each array
