Required_if laravel with multiple value

Answer 1

You can go ahead with sometimes validation for laravel. you can define a custom closure as in the below example

public static myfunction(){
   $input = \Input::only('selection','stext');
   $rule = array(
      'selection' => 'required'
   );
$validator->sometimes('stext', 'required', function($input){
    return (($input->selection == 1) || ($input->selection == 2));
});
   $validate = \Validator::make($input,$rule);
}
