Form Request :: Validation Date of Birth Select Dropdowns

well.. you can set min and max.. and .. kinda.. that.s all you need everyday is a birthday .. except that .. if the month is february .. you need the day to be no more than 29 but in some cases no more than 28 . so.. why not use a date field in the form..

As @donkfather hints, your question is a bit on the vague side. I think what you might be asking is "how can I validate that it is a valid date?" in general terms. In other words, you are using three inputs and you need to make sure the combination of the three forms a valid date. Is that correct?

Assuming it is, you can use the min, max rules and the like to make sure the values submitted are reasonable but then I think you need to run another test on all three fields.

Personally I wonder if you can use the after() method available on Validator objects to chain validations inside a FormRequest class. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Simply combine the three inputs into one date. You can use carbon to validate it's an actual date. You can also validate the date is 18+ etc too.

Either create a method to do this or extend validation with a custom validation.

Lets hope the original poster has not been waiting 3 months for an answer

Probably decided to use the Ouija package. @jekinney have you tried this package yet?

@Snapey dang it. :)

@jlrdw no, but looking it over now.
