Trying to validate an valid 24 hour time.
Request dump,
#parameters: array:6 [▼
"_token" => "mP2b6fmvlQG6SMgMwz9VI9kZEXtjXqp7hXUjdWdZ"
"email" => null
"ageLimit" => null
"timeFrom" => "0:00"
"timeTo" => "0:00"
"alowed_days" => array:7 [▶]
]
Controller validation
$validation = $request = $request->validate([
'email' => 'email|required',
'ageLimit' => 'required|numeric',
'timeFrom' => 'date_format:H:i',
'timeTo' => 'date_format:H:i',
)];
This is failing for some reason? I'm getting "The time from does not match the format H:i."
What am I not understanding?
From here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
G 24-hour format of an hour without leading zeros 0 through 23
...
H 24-hour format of an hour with leading zeros 00 through 23
The hour values in 0:00 don't have leading zeroes, so H isn't going to match. date_format:G:i should work.
From the docs:
H 24-hour format of an hour with leading zeros
i Minutes with leading zeros
G 24-hour format of an hour without leading zeros
Meaning that you should change "timeFrom" => "0:00" to "timeFrom" => "00:00" or use G instead of H.
