php - Laravel 4.2 Date Validation

Solution:

From my understanding, you want theend_at to on the same date or afterstart_at but not beforestart_at.

public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'start_at'  => 'required|date|date_format:Y-m-d|after:yesterday',
            'end_at'    => 'required|date|date_format:Y-m-d|after:' . \Carbon\Carbon::parse($this->start_date)->subDay()->toDateString(),
        ];
    }
Copy code

What I have done so far, Theend_at need to be relevant with thestart_at (same or after thestart_at).

1. I'm using Carbon to convert start_at into date.
2. Subtract date by 1 day.
3. Convert it back to string according to thestrtotime PHP function.
