I want to validate a form input which not allow input kanji char using Laravel validate rule. How to do it? This is what I did:
public function validationRules() { return [ ‘name’ => 'regex:/[^x{4e00}-x{9faf}]+/u' ]; }
But this work only when all char are kanji. If one of char is not kanji then the regex return valid.
actually now:
ひらがなカタカナ漢字 => valid
123abc => valid
ひらがなカタカナ => valid
漢字 => not valid
what I want:
ひらがなカタカナ漢字 => not valid
123abc => valid
ひらがなカタカナ => valid
漢字 => not valid
