Answer 1

In postman headers you have to add Accept as a application\json and select as form-data in body section
After that please verify your passing the has check request key has matched to the form-data one.let me know if this will work

Answer 2

Under Rules of your userRequest.php, u set integer validation but not defined the integer length. for example, if you processing the integer value between 1 to 10, do this
public function rules()
{
return [
'phone' =>'required|integer|between:1,10'
];
}
or you can change
public function register(UserRequest $request){
if($request->has('phone')){
// some logic
}
if($request->has('user_name'){
//some logic
}
to
public function register(Request $request){
if($request->has('phone')){
// some logic
}
if($request->has('user_name'){
//some logic
}
to get your value, but it bypasses the validation
