Getting validation error messages on register page - laravel

Question

I have a login page http://localhost/register the register method displays the register page. I am posting the data and validating it in this way
$rules = array(
'telephone' => 'required',
'theemail' => 'required',
'fullnames' => 'required',
'profilepicture' => 'required',
'password' => 'required',
'confirm-password' => 'required'
);
$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);
if ($validator->fails()) {
$messages = $validator->messages();
return Redirect::back()->withErrors($validator);
}
I used the method above to validate a form but when i try the above code, it seems not to validate. My last app was simplistic and the form names were also the column names in the database.
In my case, the array
$rules = array(
'telephone' => 'required',
'theemail' => 'required',
'fullnames' => 'required',
'profilepicture' => 'required',
'password' => 'required',
'confirm-password' => 'required'
);
does not contain names of columns. Must the rules contain the column names of the table i am writing to?.

Answer 1

Try something like this:
public function store(Request $request)
{
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'telephone' => 'required',
'theemail' => 'required',
'fullnames' => 'required',
'profilepicture' => 'required',
'password' => 'required',
'confirm-password' => 'required'
]);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return redirect('post/create')
->withErrors($validator)
->withInput();
}
// Store the blog post...
}
}

Be sure to match the column name in the $rule array with the other in the DB table, and if you mean the validation error doesn't appear, then you have to put this in the blade file which you want to show in.
#if(!empty($errors))
<ul>
#foreach($errors->all() as $error)
<li>{{ $error }}</li>
#endforeach
</ul>
#endif
of course you have to add the needed classes
