Framework: Validation 'required|max:255|numeric showing max error bug

[shiroamada]

When I apply
Validation for 'required|max:255|numeric' or 'required|max:255|integer', I keep getting Max validation error. Even I only have '1234556' input.
But it will work when I remove the numeric or integer validation rules.

Laravel version: 4.1.22

1234556 > 255 => validation error. Laravel is clever and knows from the numeric rule what size check it needs to perform.

[taylorotwell]

Yeah, that number is bigger than 255.

[shiroamada]

so the max:255 is not the no. of character? I was thinking it is to set the field for varchar(255).

[taylorotwell]

I think you might want the digits rule.—

Okay, thanks taylor!

If you want to limit the number of digits you can use:
'required|numeric|digits:10'
or
'required|numeric|digits_between:10,15'

Thanks tamanti
I have same problem but after this problem was solved..

[fareesa1]

In my case this works as well
'required|string|min:255',

But how to validate that string is numeric but has less than 255 digits, also it's not required.
