php - How to Validate on Max File Size in Laravel?

Question

I'm trying to validate on a max file size of 500kb in Laravel:

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
    'file' => 'size:500',
]);

But this says that the file should be exactly 500kb big. How can I edit this rule so that it returns an error when it's bigger than 500kb?

Ive tried this:

'file' => 'size:>=500'
'file'  => 'size:max:500'

The documentation says nothing about this:

size:value

The field under validation must have a size matching the given value. For string data, the value corresponds to the number of characters. For numeric data, the value corresponds to a given integer value. For files, size corresponds to the file size in kilobytes.

Answer 1

According to the documentation:

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
    'file' => 'max:500000',
]);

The value is in kilobytes. I.e. max:10240 = max 10 MB.
