Laravel Validation one of two fields must be filled

I have two fields:

QQ

Email

How do I set up a Validator object so that one of these fields must be filled? It doesn't matter which.

$messages = array(
    'email.required_without:qq' => Lang::get('messages.mustenteremail'),
    'email.email' => Lang::get('messages.emailinvalid'),
    'qq.required_without:email' => Lang::get('messages.mustenterqq'),
);

Laravel >= 10.10

Try this

public function rules(): array
    {
        return [
            'email' => 'required_without:phone_number|email|exists:customers,email',
            'phone_number' => 'required_without:email|digits_between:10,11|exists:customers,phone_number',
        ];
    }

One more point that I have searched alot. But I have figured out like this.

$rules['husband_name'] = 'required_if:gender,==,female && marital_status,==,married|string|max:255';

In my case, it's like gender must be female and marital_status must be married then husband name is required.

Laravel >= 8.32 only support.

Both (mobile or email) are presented simultaneously -> throw an error.

Both (mobile or email) is not present simultaneously -> throw an error.

Allowed

Only one parameter can be allowed.

'email'  =>  [ 'prohibited_unless:mobile,null,','required_without:mobile','email', 'max:255', ],
'mobile' =>  [ 'prohibited_unless:email,null','required_without:email', 'digits_between:5,13', 'numeric' ],

EDIT: You can also use prohibits:email and prohibits:mobile in combination of required_without:... rule

In the example above (given by lucasgeiter) you actually only need one of the conditions not both.

$rules = array(
    'Email' => 'required_without:QQ'
);

If you have both rules then filling neither in will result in TWO error messages being displayed. This way it will check that at least one field is filled in and will only display one error message if neither are filled.

required_without should work.

It means that the field is required if the other field is not present. If have more than two fields and only one is required, use required_without_all:foo,bar,...

$rules = array(
    'Email' => 'required_without:QQ',
    'QQ' => 'required_without:Email',
);
