Check out sometimes() method. I'm not sure if it's available for 5.3 though.

require_if other field contains some value
Hello,
I'm using Request to validate input, I want to make field required whether another field contains some value or not Im doing like this
'services' => 'required|array',
'packet' => 'required_if:services.*,in:internet_packet',
I want to make packet field required if services array contains 'internet_packet', but this does not work, I use Laravel 5.3. Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance

@ROBOROBOK - I do not think that sometimes would work here

I would think it should?
$validator->sometimes('packet', 'required', function ($input) {
return in_array('internet_packet', $input->services);
});

What field should trigger the validation on packet? If it's services, shouldn't it be:
'packet' => 'required_if:services,internet_packet',

@procat Not if services is an array, which I understand it to be

Thanks a lot to you guys, the solution I did was as follows:
public function rules(){
$rules = [
...
'services' => 'required|array',
...
];
foreach($this->services as $service){
if($service === 'internet_packet')){
$rules['packet'] = 'required|integer';
}
if($service === 'another_value'){
$rules['other_value'] = 'required|.....';
}
...
}
return $rules;
}
