Route::post('griev_reg_form', 'GrievanceRegisterController#postdata');
and in controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\GrievanceRegister;
use App\Department;
use Input;
use Validator;
use Redirect;
use Session;
class GrievanceRegisterController extends Controller
{
public function show()
{
$departments = Department::orderBy('edesc','ASC')->get();
return view('griev_reg_form', array('departments' => $departments));
}
public function postdata()
{
$data = Input::all();
// print_r($data);
echo $name = Input::get('name');
$rules = array(
'name' => 'required',
'email_address' => 'required|email',
'g-recaptcha-response' => 'required|captcha',
);
$validator = Validator::make($data, $rules);
if ($validator->fails()){
echo "1";
return Redirect::to('/griev_reg_form')->withInput()->withErrors($validator);

when i click on submit button without filling any data, its doesn't go
on validation part
Please provide help how can i check the post value of input fileds as well as
captcha and also validate accordingly

Answer 1

I have checked your view..I didnt find any input field named as "name", you have "cname" so maybe you validation rule should be:
$rules = array(
'cname' => 'required',
'email_address' => 'required|email',
'g-recaptcha-response' => 'required|captcha'
);
In case you are using >=5.3 version then you should use:
public function postdata(Request $request)
{
//validation
$validationArray = [
'cname' => 'required',
'email_address' => 'required|email',
'g-recaptcha-response' => 'required|captcha'
];
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(),$validationArray);
if ($validator->fails()) {
$response = ['errors' => $validator->messages()->all()];
return Response::json($response,200);
}
//here if validation is successful
}
Ofcourse add at top of controller: use Illuminate\Http\Request;
