I have two fields, which are: first_date and last_date
These are their validation rules:
'first_date' => 'required|date_format:"Y-m-d"',
'last_date' => 'required|date_format:"Y-m-d"|before:first_date',
The problem is that what ever the input date is, I get this message:
The last date must be a date before first date.
I tried these values:
first_date: 2010-5-29
last_date: 2009-5-29
I got that error message though the last date is already before the first date
I tried these values:
first_date: 2010-5-29
last_date: 2014-5-29
and I got the same error message.
Help please
You need to update Laravel to v4.2.7. There was a bug with the Before validator that has been fixed and released only yesterday. I could reproduce your problem with v4.2.6 but things work fine in v4.2.7.
In order to update Laravel to the latest 4.2 version, make sure you have
"laravel/framework": "4.2.*"
in your composer.json file and then run composer update.
Try: (month with leading 0):
first_date: 2010-05-29
last_date: 2009-05-29
m Numeric representation of a month, with leading zeros
