how to validate the birthdate.The birth date is inputted separately.Please help.
protected function validator(array $data)
{
$today_year= Carbon::now()->format('Y');
$today_month= Carbon::now()->format('m');
$today_date= Carbon::now()->format('d');
return Validator::make($data, [
'day' => ['required','date_format:d','before:today_date'],
'month' => ['required','date_format:m','before:today_month'],
'year' => ['required','date_format:Y','before:today_year'],
]);
}

@nuna I would make single 'dob' for your date components and then pass that to your Validator
$today_year= Carbon::now()->format('Y');
$data['dob'] = $data['day'].'-'.$data['month'].'-'.$data['year'];
return Validator::make($data, [
'day' => ['required'],
'month' => ['required'],
'year' => ['required','before:today_year'],
'dob'=> 'required|date',
]);
you don't want to force before check on day and month as if my birthday is 31st December it would always fail.
Level 1
I tried this solution but I am getting Bad Method Call.Please help
Level 102
Which of the solutions? And what is the exact error message?
Level 102
This might work for you. Borrowed partly from @automica
$data['dob'] = $data['day'].'-'.$data['month'].'-'.$data['year'];
return Validator::make($data, [
'day' => ['required'],
'month' => ['required'],
'year' => ['required'],
'dob'=> 'required|'before:' . now()->toDateString(),
]);
Level 1
Method Illuminate\Validation\Validator::validateRequired|before does not exist.
It comes out error like this.
protected function validator(array $data)
{
$passwordRegex = $this->getPasswordRegex();
$today_year= Carbon::now()->format('Y');
$data['dob'] = $data['day'].'-'.$data['month'].'-'.$data['year'];
return Validator::make($data, [
'day' => ['required'],
'month' => ['required'],
'year' => ['required','before:today_year'],
'dob'=> ['required|before:' . now()->toDateString()],
]);
}
Level 102
Oh sorry bad syntax. Fixed
protected function validator(array $data)
{
$passwordRegex = $this->getPasswordRegex();
$data['dob'] = $data['day'].'-'.$data['month'].'-'.$data['year'];
return Validator::make($data, [
'day' => ['required'],
'month' => ['required'],
'year' => ['required'],
'dob'=> ['required','before:' . now()->toDateString()],
]);
}
Level 1
No error coming...but it is not validating.It allows even I enter 9/12/2020.The user is not even born
Level 102
Try year first
protected function validator(array $data)
{
$passwordRegex = $this->getPasswordRegex();
$data['dob'] = $data['year'].'-'.$data['month'].'-'.$data['day'];
return Validator::make($data, [
'day' => ['required'],
'month' => ['required'],
'year' => ['required'],
'dob'=> ['required','before:' . now()->toDateString()],
]);
}
Level 1
Its working fine with year.I think I need to get the input of user from blade itself as date of birth.How to do that.My blade file is like this
<div class="row selectpicker-row mb-2">
<p class="form-lable2 color-g font14 mt-3 mb-0 ml-3 dob-lable-mobile">
{{ __('Date of Birth') }} <span class="text-danger pr-2">*</span></p>
<div class="input-group col-md-4 mt-3 mb-2">
<div class="input-group-prepend mr-0 dob-lable-web">
<span class="form-lable2 color-g font14">{{ __('Date of Birth') }}</span>
<span class="text-danger pr-2">*</span>
</div>
@php
$day='';
$month='';
$year='';
if(isset(auth()->user()->dob))
{
$dob=explode('-', auth()->user()->dob);
$day=$dob[2];
$month=$dob[1];
$year=$dob[0];
}
@endphp
<select name="day"

I am unsure of what you mean? Get the user in blade? What for? I thought the question was regarding validation? Is the validation solved?
Level 1
Because I think its not comparing individually right or can compare individually in the controller?
Level 102
Why do you want to compare them? Shouldn't you just check that the date is valid and before today? Then you save them individually :)
Level 1
You are right I want to validate the date before the user input it to make sure the birth-date is relevant
Level 1
Back to this if I validate for dob its not working
protected function validator(array $data)
{
$passwordRegex = $this->getPasswordRegex();
$data['dob'] = $data['day'].'-'.$data['month'].'-'.$data['year'];
return Validator::make($data, [
'day' => ['required'],
'month' => ['required'],
'year' => ['required'],
'dob'=> ['required','before:' . now()->toDateString()],
]);
}
Level 102
What isn't working? Are you getting an error?
If you wish to validate before submit, you need to use Javascript instead of php
Level 54
@nuna you shouldn't need to split your dob back into its component parts. You should have access to the original 3 date parameters as part of your initial request.
the duplication on this:
<option value="01" @if($month=="01" ) {{ __('selected') }}
@elseif(old('month')=="01" ) {{ __('selected') }} @endif>{{ __('Jan') }}
</option>
is a bit clumsy
I'd just define an array called $months in your controller, pass it in and @foreach through that
also
@for($i=1972; $i<=2020; $i++) <option value="{{ $i }}" @if($year==$i)
you should define a $yearMin & $yearNow in your controller and pass it in.
Blade files should be simple to read. DRY'ing up views helps massively in cognitive load when trying to debug.
BTW it looks like my answer helped with your validation issue. if the scope of your question has changed, feel free to close this one and open another.

@nuna You could make your life easier and just use a single input to input the birth date. Most browsers have supported the date input type for a while now.
Level 1
I changed to datepicker and called the date in the controlelr.It workded.Thank you everyone.
Level 16
Maybe in a few days from now someone would run into the same issue. So here's what i think is the best validation:
'birthday'=> 'required|date_format:Y-m-d|after:now',
And i also think the date should be combined.
Level 4
Hmm... Ii would say after is wrong. So here is what I do, and it works perfectly for me:
'birthday' => 'required|before_or_equal:today',
In my lang/de/validation.php I then put a custom message that appears when validating fields that are named birthday:
'custom' => [
'birthday' => [
'before_or_equal' => 'Das Geburtdatum kann nicht in der Zukunft liegen!'
]
]
Hope this helps.
