Laravel 5.2 multiple file validation problem

I was doing some multiple file validation. I have my html like so:

<html>
    <body>
        <form name="le_form" action="/ft" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
            {{csrf_field()}}
            <input type="file" multiple name="le_file[0][]"/> 
            <input type="file" multiple name="le_file[1][]"/>
            <input type="file" multiple name="le_file[2][]"/>
            <input type="submit">
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

This action calls to this method in my other controller:

 public function ft(Request $request) {
  $v = Validator::make($request->file('le_file'),array(
            '.*.*' => 'max:100|required', //max of 100kb
            ));
        if ($v->fails()) return $v->messages();
        return 'Success';
}

I'm not sure why but the validator doesn't seem to be picking up the files. Though I can get a returned uploaded file object when I return $request->file('le_file.0.0'); But for my validator, its like it can't get to the files, because it is always returning success. Any help with this is appreciated, thank you very much.

The way you are creating the validator, all association is lost. Try, if you just need to validate the files,

$v = Validator::make(['le_file' => $request->file('le_file')],array(
        'le_file.*.*' => 'max:100|required', //max of 100kb
    ));

Tip: All the compiled rules can be viewed by $v->getRules()
