You seem to be using `digits_between` but you need to be using just `between` ([docs](http://laravel.com/docs/validation#rule-between)).

    &#39;item&#39; =&gt; &#39;required|integer|between:1,10&#39;,

You should use digits_between when you are trying to get exact same &quot;length&quot;. for example to validate if user input is a digit between 0 to 99, you just add &quot;digits_between:1,2&quot; in your validation.

    &#39;item&#39; =&gt; &#39;required|digits_between:1,2&#39;,

If your number is decimal, and want to validate if entered number is a range number between 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, ... to 2, you need use &quot;numeric|between:1,2&quot; in your validation.

    &#39;item&#39; =&gt; &#39;required|numeric|between:1,2&#39;,



My users table login column is String type with limit of 40 characters.
Now I am planning to increase the limit to 55 characters.

Any one please let me know how can we increase this limit by using ROR migration.


Thanks,

Rails Migration: How to increase column data type size by using ROR migration

Trying to create a gulp task that will pipe a bunch of files from different folders through LESS and then output them to a folder based on the original source. Consider this folder structure:

    Project
    +-- /Module_A
    |   +- /less
    |   |  +- a.less
    |   +- a.css
    |
    +-- /Module_B
        +- /less
        |  +- b.less
        +- b.css

 Here&#39;s my gulpfile:

    var gulp = require(&#39;gulp&#39;);
    var gutil = require(&#39;gulp-util&#39;);
    var less = require(&#39;gulp-less&#39;);

    gulp.task(&#39;compileLess&#39;, function () {
      gulp.src(&#39;./*/less/*.less&#39;)
        .pipe(less())
        .pipe(gulp.dest( ??? ));
    });

    gulp.task(&#39;default&#39;, [&#39;compileLess&#39;]);

I know gulp.dest() expects a path to be passed in but in my example the path will be different based on the source file. So how can I grab the path from source, modify it and then pass it into gulp.dest()?

Or am I going about this the wrong way?

How can I use the path from gulp.src() in gulp.dest()?

I am trying to check if an element is not in array than want to redirect page:
My code is as below:

    $id = $access_data[&#39;Privilege&#39;][&#39;id&#39;]; 
    
    if(!in_array($id,$user_access_arr))
    {
        $this-&gt;Session-&gt;setFlash(__(&#39;Access Denied! You are not eligible to access this.&#39;), &#39;flash_custom_success&#39;);
        return $this-&gt;redirect(array(&#39;controller&#39;=&gt;&#39;Dashboard&#39;,&#39;action&#39;=&gt;&#39;index&#39;));
    }

I am confused how to check if element is not in array.
As we can check element exist or not in array using `in_array` function of PHP.
I am trying to check it using `(!in_array)` but I did not got result.

What I want is get an object from an API with a HTTP (eg, jQuery&#39;s AJAX) request to an external api. How do I start? I did research on Mr Google but I can&#39;t find anything helping.

Im starting to wonder is this is even possible?
In this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18770184/laravel-4-make-post-request-from-controller-to-external-url-with-data it looks like it can be done. But there&#39;s no example nor any source where to find some documentation.

Please help me out?



Doing HTTP requests FROM Laravel to an external API

I have a Laravel `User` model which has a unique validation rule on `username` and `email`. In my Repository, when I update the model, I revalidate the fields, so as to not  have a problem with required rule validation:

    public function update($id, $data) {
        $user = $this-&gt;findById($id);
        $user-&gt;fill($data);
        $this-&gt;validate($user-&gt;toArray());
        $user-&gt;save();

        return $user;
    }

This fails in testing with:

&gt; ValidationException: {&quot;username&quot;:[&quot;The username has already been
&gt; taken.&quot;],&quot;email&quot;:[&quot;The email has already been taken.&quot;]}

Is there a way of fixing this elegantly?

Laravel update model with unique validation rule for attribute

I&#39;ve got this:

        use XXX\Driver\Driver;
    
    ...
    
    var_dump(class_exists(&#39;Driver&#39;)); // false
            $driver = new Driver(); // prints 123123123 since I put an echo in the constructor of this class
            exit;

Well... this behaviour is quite irrational (creating objects of classes that according to PHP do not exist). Is there any way to check if a class exist under given namespace?

I am trying to execute a migration to rename some columns and I got an exception. 

As I read on the documentation I have to add the doctrine/dbal dependency to my composer.json file. How do I do that? Which is the correct composer.json file. I have many in my application. Is the one that is on the same level as the folders app,bootstrap, public and vendor.

If so how do I add that dependency. Do I have to download anything?

By the way im using easyphp, not wamp!

## Edit 1 ##

After doing that the console throws this error

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think there is no such thing as mass update in an Eloquent model.

Is there a way to make a mass update on the DB table without issuing a query for every row?

For example, is there a static method, something like 


    User::updateWhere(
        array(&#39;age&#39;, &#39;&lt;&#39;, &#39;18&#39;),
        array(
            &#39;under_18&#39; =&gt; 1 
            [, ...]
        )
    );

(yes, it is a silly example but you get the picture...)

Why isn&#39;t there such a feature implemented? 
Am I the only one who would be very happy if something like this comes up?

I (the developers), wouldn&#39;t like to implement it like:

    DB::table(&#39;users&#39;)-&gt;where(&#39;age&#39;, &#39;&lt;&#39;, &#39;18&#39;)-&gt;update(array(&#39;under_18&#39; =&gt; 1));

because as the project grows, we may require the programmers to change the table name in the future and they cannot search and replace for the table name!

Is there such a static method to perform this operation? And if there is not, can we extend the `Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model` class to accomplish such a thing?



Eloquent model mass update

I have a bad experience while installing laravel. However, I was able to do so and move to the next level. I used generators and created my migrations. 
But when I type the last command 

    php artisan migrate
It&#39;s throwing a PDOException - could not find driver.

           &#39;mysql&#39; =&gt; array(
    	        &#39;driver&#39;    =&gt; &#39;mysql&#39;,
    	        &#39;host&#39;      =&gt; &#39;localhost&#39;,
    	        &#39;unix_socket&#39;   =&gt; &#39;/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock&#39;,
    	        &#39;database&#39;  =&gt; &#39;database&#39;,
    	        &#39;username&#39;  =&gt; &#39;root&#39;,
    	        &#39;password&#39;  =&gt; &#39;&#39;,
    	        &#39;charset&#39;   =&gt; &#39;utf8&#39;,
    	        &#39;collation&#39; =&gt; &#39;utf8_unicode_ci&#39;,
    	        &#39;prefix&#39;    =&gt; &#39;&#39;,
    	    ),

That&#39;s my configuration in config/database.php.

I tried searching on stackoverflow and laravel forums and people suggest that it&#39;s PDO problem and not artisan&#39;s or php&#39;s - I followed those suggestions like adding 

    extension=pgsql.so
    extension=pdo_pgsql.so
in php.ini 

No positive result. It always says `[PDOException]could not find driver.`

Can someone please help resolving this.

php artisan migrate throwing [PDO Exception] Could not find driver - Using Laravel

I&#39;m trying to create foreign keys in Laravel however when I migrate my table using `artisan` i am thrown the following error:

Any ideas as to what I&#39;ve done wrong, I want to get this right now, as I&#39;ve got a lot of tables I need to create e.g. Users, Clients, Projects, Tasks, Statuses, Priorities, Types, Teams. Ideally I want to create tables which hold this data with the foreign keys, i..e `clients_project` and `project_tasks` etc. 

Hope someone can help me to get started. 

Migration: Cannot add foreign key constraint

Wondering if its possible to change the size of checkbox as it&#39;s possible with buttons. I want it to be bigger, so it makes it easy to press. Right now its looking like this:

![enter image description here][1]


  [1]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/6ANsR.png

Code:

     &lt;div class=&quot;form-group&quot;&gt;
        &lt;label  class=&quot;col-md-7 control-label&quot;&gt;Kalsiumklorid: &lt;/label&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;col-md-5&quot; &gt;
          {{ Form::checkbox(&#39;O_Kals_Klor&#39;, 1 , array(&#39;class&#39; =&gt; &#39;form-control&#39; ))  }}  
        &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;

How can I change the size of a Bootstrap checkbox?

In laravel, we can get the input value via `Input::get(&#39;inputname&#39;)`. I try to change the value by doing this `Input::get(&#39;inputname&#39;) = &quot;new value&quot;;`. But then, I get the error message saying `Can&#39;t use function return value in write context`.

Is it possible for us change the input value so that when later calling on `Input::get(&#39;inputname&#39;)` will get the new amended value?

Thanks.
