Laravel : Validation not working when testing on live - laravel

Question

Create a user validate function with validation in API integration When i try to validate user with some validation and check it in postman it is working perfect in local machine but when i uploaded code on server and test, it is not working.
Controller function :
public function confirmUser(ForgotPasswordRequest $request)
{
// ForgotPasswordRequest for validate
$user = User::leftjoin('user_details','users.id', '=', 'user_details.user_id')
->where('user_details.phone', '=', $request->post('phone'))
->where('users.email', '=', $request->post('email'))
->first();
if(!$user) {
return response()->json([
'message' => "The credentials you provided cannot be determined to be authentic.!!",
'status_code' => 404,
]);
}
$token = JWTAuth::fromUser($user);
return response()->json([
'message' => "Your account is eligible for change password.!!",
'token' => $token,
'status_code' => 200
]);
}
My forgotPasswordRequest.php code :
<?php
namespace App\Api\V1\Requests;
use Config;
use Dingo\Api\Http\FormRequest;
class ForgotPasswordRequest extends FormRequest
{
public function rules()
{
return Config::get('boilerplate.forgot_password.validation_rules');
}
public function authorize()
{
return true;
}
}
And in config folder boilerplate.php file contain forgot_password rules :
'forgot_password' => [
'validation_rules' => [
'email' => 'required|email',
'phone' => 'required|min:11|numeric'
]
],
When email and phone null it returns only email validation not phone:
{
"error": {
"message": "422 Unprocessable Entity",
"errors": {
"email": [
"The email field is required."
]
},
"status_code": 422
}
}
What i am doing wrong ? It is related to cookies ?

There is nothing going wrong here.
Laravel checks whether the email field is properly filled in. It isn't, Laravel breaks out of the validation method and returns the exception.
If you fill in the email field, but leave the phone field blank, then the validation response will be about the phone field.
