Laravel Errors not appearing

Question

I'm trying to add a new match into the database but if I purposely don't enter anything into the form, no errors are displayed. I have based this on my registration form which works perfectly. If I correctly fill out the form all data goes into the database correctly.

MatchController.php

public function postCreate()
{

    $validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), Match::$rules);

    if ($validator->passes()) 
    {

        $datetime = Input::get('year')."-".Input::get('month')."-".Input::get('day')." ".Input::get('time').":00";

        $match = new Match;
        $match->type = Input::get('match_type');
        $match->associate = Input::get('associate');
        $match->date = $datetime;
        $match->location = Input::get('location');
        $match->save();

        $matchp1 = new Matchplayer;
        $matchp1->user_id = Input::get('id');
        $matchp1->match_id = $match->id;
        $matchp1->team = 1;
        $matchp1->save();

        $matchp2 = new Matchplayer;
        $matchp2->user_id = Input::get('opponent');
        $matchp2->match_id = $match->id;
        $matchp2->team = 2;
        $matchp2->save();

        return Redirect::to('members/matches/create')->with('message', 'Match created!');

    }else{
        return Redirect::to('members/matches/create')->withErrors($validator)->withInput();
    }
}

Match Model (Match.php)

    class Match extends Eloquent{

        protected $table = 'matches';

        public static $rules = array(
            'match_type'=>'required',
            'associate'=>'alpha|min:2'
            'location'=>'required|alpha|min:2',
            'team_mate2'=>'required_if:match_type,doubles',
            'opponent2'=>'required_with:team_mate2'
        );

    }

Match Creation View (matchCreate.php)

<div class="row clearfix">
        <!-- Error Message Box -->
            @if(Session::has('message'))
            <div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-2">

        @include('includes.sidemenu')
    </div>

routes.php

Route::post('members/matches/create', 'MatchController@postCreate');

The rest of my application works fine, that includes registration, login and a profile page. Why would it be a permission problem? — Jonnerz

You're creating your Validator object incorrectly. The make() method has four parameters:

/**
 * Create a new Validator instance.
 *
 * @param  array  $data
 * @param  array  $rules
 * @param  array  $messages
 * @return \Illuminate\Validation\Validator
 */
public function make(array $data, array $rules, array $messages = array(), array $customAttributes = array()) { ... }

You're passing each of your validation rules as a separate array, rather than together as one array. Subsequently, you aren't passing any of your input data, either, so it has no actual data to validate against.

Hmm okay I see what I have done, I have tried several other ways before this with the same issue but I shall fix the problem you said and try again.

I have fixed that problem and used the exact same method I used for the registration validation, I stll can't see why the validation is not outputting errors.
