Laravel sometimes validation rule and their function:

accepted The field under validation must be yes, on, 1, or true. This is useful for validating "Terms of Service" acceptance.

active_url The field under validation must have a valid A or AAAA record according to the dns_get_record PHP function.

after:date The field under validation must be a value after a given date. The dates will be passed into the strtotime PHP function: 'start_date' => 'required|date|after:tomorrow' Instead of passing a date string to be evaluated by strtotime, you may specify another field to compare against the date: 'finish_date' => 'required|date|after:start_date'

after_or_equal:date The field under validation must be a value after or equal to the given date. For more information, see the after rule.

alpha The field under validation must be entirely alphabetic characters.
