Image array validation in Laravel 5

This works for me

$rules = array(
     ...
     'image' => 'required',
     'image.*' => 'image|mimes:jpg,jpeg'
);

Do it in that order.

I used a technique similar to what Jeemusu recommended and after the initial validation to make sure the array of images is present, iterated through the array with a second validator, making sure each item in the array is in fact an image. Here's the code:

$input = Request::all();

$rules = array(
    'name' => 'required',
    'location' => 'required',
    'capacity' => 'required',
    'description' => 'required',
    'image' => 'required|array'
);

$validator = Validator::make($input, $rules);

if ($validator->fails()) {

    $messages = $validator->messages();

    return Redirect::to('venue-add')
        ->withErrors($messages);

}

$imageRules = array(
    'image' => 'image|max:2000'
);

foreach($input['image'] as $image)
{
    $image = array('image' => $image);

    $imageValidator = Validator::make($image, $imageRules);

    if ($imageValidator->fails()) {

        $messages = $imageValidator->messages();

        return Redirect::to('venue-add')
            ->withErrors($messages);

    }
}
