alpha and alpha_num validation not working in laravel 4? - validation

Question

I am developing a registration form. Everything is working fine but I am having problem with alpha and alpha_num validation.
Here is my Model(employee.php)
<?php
class Employee extends Eloquent
{
protected $table='employee';
public static $rules = array(
'first_name' => 'required|min:2',
'last_name' => 'required|min:2',
'username' => 'required|min:3|unique:employee',
'password' => 'required|alpha_num|between:6,12|confirmed',
'confirm_password' => 'required|aplha_num|between:6,12',
'department' => 'required',
'post' => 'required'
);
}
?>
Here is my controller (EmployeeController.php)
public function store()
{
//validate the user input
$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(),Employee::$rules);
//process the login
if ($validator->fails())
{
return Redirect::to('employee/create')
->withErrors($validator)
->withInput(Input::except('password'));
}
else
{
//store
$employee = new Employee;
$employee->first_name = Input::get('first_name');
$employee->last_name = Input::get('last_name');
$employee->username = Input::get('username');
$employee->password = Hash::make(Input::get('password'));
$employee->department = Input::get('department');
$employee->post = Input::get('post');
$employee->save();
//redirect to the main page
Session::flash('message','Successfully added employee');
return Redirect::to('employee');
}
}
My create.blade.php file
#extends('layouts.master')
#section('navigation')
#parent
#stop
#section('content')
<h1>Add New Employee</h1>
<!--if there are any errors,display here-->
{{ HTML::ul($errors->all()) }}
{{ Form::open(array('url'=>'employee','class'=>'form-horizontal')) }}
<div class="control-group">

</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
{{ Form::label('department','Select Department',array('class'=>'control-label')) }}
<div class="controls">
{{ Form::select('department',array('it'=>'IT','finance'=>'finance','management'=>'Management','marketing'=>'Marketing')) }}
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
{{ Form::label('post','Enter Post',array('class'=>'control-label')) }}
<div class="controls">
{{ Form::select('post',array('E'=>'Employee','PM'=>'Project Manager','CEO'=>'Executive CEO','MD'=>'Managing Director')) }}
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<div class="controls">

</div>
{{ Form::close() }}

I am getting BadMethodCallException
Method [validateAplhaNum] does not exist.
Method [validateAplha] does not exist.

It's because you've spelt alpha_num wrong in your confirm_password validation.
