You may use starts_with :
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'in1' => '...|...',
'in2' => 'required_if:in1|starts_with:' . $request->input('in1')
]);
I have to validate a field with the input given in another field in custom validation rule.
I have a fields in1 and in2, both are strings and in1 should start with in2.
From the documentation, I can create something like this
public function passes($attribute, $value)
{
return true;
}
Where attribute have field name(ex:in1) and value have value of that field. How can I pass in2 to this.
