I have a Form Request Validation file, which checks is an input field not empty ('required') and then if it's value exists in the database in table 'table1'.
I want to add a 2nd exist rule to the same input field, and return a message if 2nd exist validation rule is not met:
public function rules()
{
return [
'tour' => 'required|exists:table1,id|//another exists: table2, id//'
];
}
public function messages()
{
return [
'tour.required' => 'Message 1!',
'tour.exists:table1,id' => 'Message 2!',
'tour.//another exists: table2, id//' => 'Message 3!'
];
}
Right now only 2nd rule works. Any ideas how-to?:)
thank you all in advance!
