Laravel Time regex

Question

Working on a regex for time in the format: H:M:S. (00:00:00)

'Time' => 'regex:/^([01]?[0-9]|2[0-3]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]|60)$/',

But getting error: preg_match(): No ending delimiter '/' found

Answer 1

It's much easier to use the date_format validation rule.

e.g.

'timeField' => 'required|date_format:H:i',

Answer 2

Use array for rules instead of string with pipe as separator:

'Time' => array('regex:/^([01]?[0-9]|2[0-3]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]|60)$/'),
