ViewsValidate Arabic Numbers in Laravel 5
I have a form that contains a field for user to enter amount value of certain payment. This field is input of type number.
The validation rule in Laravel for this input is:
'amount' => 'required|numeric'
When I enter the amount in English as: 1500 => The validation passes and everything is OK.
But when I enter the amount in Arabic as: ١٥٠٠ => The validation fails with the following error message:
"validation.numeric"
Should I validate this field manually or is there another solution to this problem?

Maybe you can create your own validation type.
You can add something like this to your boot method in app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php.
Validator::extend('arabic_numbers', function ($attributes, $value, $parameters, $validation) {
$arabic_numbers = [
'٥',
'١',
// add more
];
$input = $value;
if (!$input) {
return false;
}
$chars = preg_split('//u', $input, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
foreach ($chars as $char) {
if (!in_array($char, $arabic_numbers)) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
});
You can add to your existing rule, e.g. required|arabic_numbers.
Or use something like this:
$input = '١';
$validator = Validator::make([
'user_input' => $input,
], [
'user_input' => 'required|arabic_numbers'
];
if ($validator->fails()) {
//
}
Also you can use in many other ways for example in a custom request:
public function rules()
{
return [
'something' => 'required|arabic_numbers',
];
}
Hope this helps.
