Check user's age with laravel validation rules

Question

How can I check the age of a user upon registration? I want to set the minimum age to be 13 years old. I ask for the user\'s date of birth and when I validate the other cred

Answer 1

You can use Carbon which comes with laravel

$dt = new Carbon\Carbon();
$before = $dt->subYears(13)->format('Y-m-d');

$rules = [
    ...
    'dob' => 'required|date|before:' . $before
];
