Laravel custom validation

Question

--- Custom validation class (application/libraries/validator.php) ---

 class Validator extends Laravel\Validator {
    public function validate_passwdU($attribute, $value, $parameters){
        $r_uppercase    = '/[A-Z]/';  //Uppercase
        $default_min = 1;
        if(is_numeric($parameters[0])>=$default_min){
        $default_min = $parameters[0];
        }
        return (preg_match_all($r_uppercase,$value, $matches)>=$default_min);       
    }
}

--- application/language/en/validation.php ---

    "passwdU" => "The :attribute must be at least :size uppercase characters."

--- Controller ---

    $rules = array(
        'passwd' => 'required|min:8|passwdU:2'
    );

    $validation = Validator::make($input, $rules);

    if ($validation->fails())
    {
        return Redirect::to('URL')->with_errors($validation);
    }

--- Input ---

passwd = 11111111

--- View ---

<pre>
<?php print_r($errors); ?>
</pre>

--- Output ---

Laravel\Messages Object
(
    [messages] => Array
    (
        [passwd] => Array
            (
                [0] => validation.passwdU
            )

    )
    [format] => :message
)

Why didn't I get the message that I defined in Language file?

As it's the message object sent back have you tried `print_r($errors->get('passwd'))` — David Barker, Dec 09 '12 at 14:37
I found the problem, in language I defined "passwdU" => "......", when the file is loaded, the key is converted to lowercase "passwdu" => "...". — Sophy SEM, Dec 09 '12 at 15:26

Passing messages method to the view

return Redirect::to('login')
    ->withErrors($validator->messages())

and printing it with get method

{{ $errors->get('email') }}

worked for me:

The email field is required.

It's the same passing `->withErrors($validator)` , since `Validator` class *implements* `MessageProviderInterface` *interface*. – giannis christofakis Sep 06 '13 at 08:06
