Laravel validate decimal 0-99.99

Question

Laravel does not have a validation for decimal, so I need a regex or other validation method to validate a numeric value of 0 - 99.99

I have tried

required|regex:^\d{0,2}(\.\d{1,2})?$/
required|regex:[1-9]\d?(\.\d\d?)?|0\.[1-9]\d?||0\.0[1-9]
required|regex:/[1-9]\d?(\.\d\d?)?|0\.[1-9]\d?||0\.0[1-9]/
required|regex:/[\d]{2}.[\d]{2}/
required|regex:/[\d]{0-2}.[\d]{0,2}/

I am either getting "invalid format" when trying to enter 0.05 or unknown modifiers for preg_match

any help with the regex needed to validate a decimal in laravel is appreciated (with optional values before or after decimal

it does, I guess I was over thinking it... the demo values on the site never used a decimal, so I never thought to check — Kender, Apr 19 '15 at 18:43

The laravel(5?) between rule does always get it has to parse a decimal, you have to add numeric to it to validate correctly

'required|numeric|between:0,99.99',

late reply but you can try `'required|numeric|between:0.00,99.99',` – josevoid Oct 10 '17 at 09:58

What actually got this working for me was that my AJAX request was a string & in order to validate properly as numeric, I had to cast it as a float prior validation: `$request->merge(['inputName' => (float) $request->input('inputName')];` `required|numeric|0.01,9999.99` – cmeza Aug 24 '18 at 20:22
Beware: Based on the code of 'between': github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.8/src/Illuminate/Validat‌ion/… You aren't validating actual number of decimal positions, only that the number is between two real values: The 0 and the 9999.9900000... If you try to validate 9999.981 it will be accepted (and probably rounded to 9999.98 after), but if you try with 9999.991 it will fail. – ecdani Aug 29 '19 at 12:09

The Laravel between validation rule is actually pretty powerful and can handle decimal values as well. So there's no need to use regex just do this:

'required|between:0,99.99'

not working in that case ['nullable', 'between:1,99999999.99', 'regex:/^(?=.+)(?:[1-9]\d*|0)?(?:\.\d+)?$/'] – manish Mar 25 '19 at 03:46
Better we use 'gte' and 'lte' they will accept decimal values also – Adiyya Tadikamalla Nov 06 '21 at 11:13

This works for me:

 function rules(){'field' => ['required','numeric', 'min:1','max:99.99', 'regex:/^\d+(\.\d{1,2})?$/']}

And if you want to custom the message, then:

public function messages()
   {
       return [
        'field.regex' => 'custom your message'
      ];
   }

this will work for number allowing two decimal precision:

function rules(){

   return [
   'field_name'=> array('regex:/^(?:d*.d{1,2}|d+)$/','min:1','max:10')
        ]; 
}

Why "d" and not "\d" ? Should it not be 'regex:/^(?:\d*.\d{1,2}|\d+)$/' – MortimerCat Mar 24 '22 at 05:52

this will work for numbers with decimal and without decimals:

required|gte:0|lte:99
