Laravel: How to add 1 day to validation before rule

Question

How do I make the validation rule before:end_date +1 day? IE I want to make the rule before or including the end date. I know that the date is passed to the php strtotime function which takes '+1 days' as an argument but I can't get it to work.

protected $fillable = array('name','start_date', 'end_date', 'registration_start', 'registration_end');

public static $rules = array(
    'registration_end' => 'required|date|before:end_date + 1 days'
);

Answer 1

You don't need to worry about you can edit the end_date . You should do this to add a day before you pass to your rule.

$end_date = '<your date> +1 day';

Note : Replace <your date> with your original date ('Ymd' or 'Y/m/d' format works)

Then you shall pass it to the rule as usual

public static $rules = array(
    'registration_end' => 'required|date|before:'.$end_date
);

Answer 2

Just use request key :
'registration_end' => 'required|date|before:end_date' if you want end_date to precede registration_end .

For specific time add time text before:end_date +1 day .
