laravel validation fails using the "numeric" rule, data is coming as number from form

I am using this kind of input form in my page:

<input type="number" class="form-control" name="price" maxlength="4">

So as far as I know I can only input a number here and the form will accept a number and in theory send a numeric value to the controller. However setting this validation rule:

$this->validate($request, [

    'price' => 'numeric|max:5'

]);

will make the controller not pass over this point, it doesn't even throw an error, the page gets reloaded and that's it. I found out as I removed the 'numeric' from the rule and it all worked. So what am I missing here? is the data passed from the form being passed as test instead?

you are getting an redirect because the validation fails I assume you don't output anywhere he validation errors.

https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/validation#rule-size

when you use numeric with max you apply the following rule which uses size

size:value

The field under validation must have a size matching the given value. For string data, value corresponds to the number of characters. For numeric data, value corresponds to a given integer value. For an array, size corresponds to the count of the array. For files, size corresponds to the file size in kilobytes

which makes anything lower than 5 to be valid.

change the rule instead to

numeric|min:1|max:99999

or

numeric|between:1,99999

Also use something like Debugbar in your development so you can get as much information from errors.
