laravel validation

[Jan Novak‏]

Hi,

i search for a laraval validation rule for directory pathes.
I want to know if the path exists and is writable, what was entered in a
form and will evaluated in the contoller.

At the moment i have only

$this->validate($request,
['path'=>'required|unique:archive,path,'.$request->id,'id']);

for validation (path is required and must be unique)
But how to include the rule for is_directory and is_writable ?

Jan,

I don't use laravel (I'm not sure if anyone here does). But what
exactly is it you are trying to do?

It looks like possibly you are allowing someone to upload a file to a
directory they specify on your site. If so, be aware this is extremely
dangerous. They could easily upload malicious code, such as a script
that downloads a virus or code that dumps your entire website (including
passwords, etc.) to them.

If this isn't the case, can you please explain what you're trying to
accomplish? Perhaps there is an easier way to do what you want.

I also see they have a pretty active forum at www.laracasts.com/discuss.
You might try asking there.

I know, but it is an intranet application (DMS).

It is an laravel question, because of this spcial "validators" inside
laravel.
I have already try the laravel forum, but until now, i havent got an
answer. Maybe i try it again.

thx.

Even more dangerous. More successful hacks occur from internal sources
than external. People thing that just because something is intranet it
is safe. That is far from reality.

Right, but that's why I was asking what you are trying to do. Perhaps
we can find a different way of doing it.

Thats true ... but this is not the question at this moment. I need the
upload, because its an DMS :-) Everything else is or will be done with
max security - one thing ist the check of the upload itself and the
existing directory.

Laravel is in my eyes very smart and if you use it right, then you have
a very good basic security (php) app.

One part of laravel is the internal validation - i havent found a way to
validate the not only the input, but also the directory structure...

I have no experience with Laravel, but maybe the following helps:
