Laravel Validation one of two fields must be filled

Question

I have two fields:

QQ

Email

How do I set up a Validator object so that one of these fields must be filled? It doesn't matter which.

---

$messages = array(
    'email.required_without:qq' => Lang::get('messages.mustenteremail'),
    'email.email' => Lang::get('messages.emailinvalid'),
    'qq.required_without:email' => Lang::get('messages.mustenterqq'),
);

Answer 1

required_without should work.

It means that the field is required if the other field is not present. If have more than two fields and only one is required, use required_without_all:foo,bar,...

$rules = array(
    'Email' => 'required_without:QQ',
    'QQ' => 'required_without:Email',
);
