I have tested and implemented regex in laravel but it show me the error. Please look into this
EmployerSignupRequest.php
'ephone' => 'required|regex:/^[((\+)|0)[.\- ]?[0-9][.\- ]?[0-9][.\- ]?[0-9]+$/',
and i am getting this error.
preg_match(): No ending delimiter '/' found' in /var/www/html/jobma/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Validation/Validator.php:1370
when i run this in php, This is working fine
<?php
$subject = "+91-9041742722";
$pattern = '/^[((\+)|0)[.\- ]?[0-9][.\- ]?[0-9][.\- ]?[0-9]+$/';
preg_match($pattern, substr($subject,3), $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
print_r($matches);
?>
I think you are missing syntax here.You can use below pattern for your regular expression.
array('phone' => 'required', 'required|regex:/^\+?[^a-zA-Z]{5,}$/');
First of all, you need to use an array because your pattern contains a pipe. See the docs:
When using the
regexpattern, it may be necessary to specify rules in an array instead of using pipe delimiters, especially if the regular expression contains a pipe character.
Also, your pattern starts with [((\+)|0)[.\- ]? optional character class that matches either ( or +, ), |, 0, [, -, or space. I think you want to match either a 0 or a + optionally followed by a delimiter, so replace it with [0+][.\- ].
Use
'ephone' => ['required', 'regex:/^[0+][.\- ]?[0-9][.\- ]?[0-9][.\- ]?[0-9]+$/'],
If the + or 0 are to be optional, add ? after [0+] (this matches either a 0 or a literal +, and if you add a ? after it, this will be optional, matching 1 or 0 occurrences of the pattern).
