Hi

In Laravel 4 this code works like a charm. But in Laravel 4.1 this don't work.

start/global.php

require app_path().'/validators.php';

validators.php

<?php

// Crear validación de alpha espacios
Validator::extend('alpha_spaces', function($attribute, $value, $parameters)
{
    return preg_match('/^[\pL\s]+$/u', $value);
});
      

UsersController

.....
        $reglas = array(
            'first_name'    => 'required|alpha_spaces|min:3|max:30',
            'last_name'     => 'required|alpha_spaces|min:3|max:30',
            'email'         => 'required|email|unique:users,email',
            'password'      => 'required|confirmed'
        );

And the lenguage file (same for alpha)

I put in the form (first_name and/or last_name) any simple word (for example: laravel) and the validation fails: "The first name may only contain letters and numbers". The question is. WHY?

Thanks
