I validate the form with a laravel validator, swear at 'vk_url' => 'regex:/^(http(s)?:\/\/)?(www\.)?vk\.com\/(\w|\d)+?\/?$/' , namely:

 ErrorException in Validator.php line 1805: preg_match(): No ending delimiter '/' found

An expression like a standard form, I have already tried many options. In what form does the validator accept regulars, how should this expression be altered?

    Here most likely you need to pass this parameter as an array. By the way, here (\w|\d)+? = \w+ - Wiktor Stribiżew
  • @ WiktorStribiżew, thank you, replaced by \w+ and it worked - rival.dm

In Laravel there are certain features of working with regulars. Most often there are spaces exactly with the OR operator, since the characters | used by Laravel itself to transfer an array of parameters.

This is described in the documentation (in English): "When using regular expressions, it may be necessary to specify the rules as an array in the mixture of separators | , especially if this symbol is used in the regular expression itself." (in my free translation).

In your particular case, you can simply get rid of this operator:

 'vk_url' => 'regex:/^(http(s)?:\/\/)?(www\.)?vk\.com\/\w+\/?$/' ^^^^

since \w finds numbers too.
