Answer 1

I know that it is a question about Laravel 4 BUT if you are using Laravel 5.3 now you can use something like:

$rules = array(

   'date_start' => 'required|date_format:Y-m-d|before_or_equal:date_end',
   'date_end' => 'required|date_format:Y-m-d|after_or_equal:date_start'

       );

    $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), $rules);
