Require at least one alpha character

Question

We have a login form that allows you to enter in your user_id or your player_tag. We have a model with the following rules:

protected $rules = ['player_tag' => 'required|unique|min:3|max:15|regex:/^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$/'];

Is there a way to add a rule that requires the player_tag field to contain at least 1 alpha character (a-zA-Z)?

Answer 1

This might help you:

^(?=.*[a-zA-Z]).+$
