Laravel Validator. Unable to retrieve both errors and Input

Question

I am using Laravel for a project and i am trying to validate some input fields from a form. I am using the Validator class.

Here is the code in my controller.

$validator =   Validator::make($request->all(), [
    'arithmos_kinhths' => 'required',
    'kathgoria_kinhths' => ['required',Rule::notIn(['-'])],
    'prohgoumenos_paroxos_kinhths' => ['required',Rule::notIn(['-'])],
    'programma_kinhths' => ['required',Rule::notIn(['-'])],
    'project_kinhths' => ['required',Rule::notIn(['-'])],
    'kathogoria_epidothshs_kinhths' =>['required',Rule::notIn(['-'])],
    'talk_to_eu_kinhths' => ['required',Rule::notIn(['-'])],
    'pagio_kinhths' => 'required',
    'sms_kinhths' => ['required',Rule::notIn(['-'])],
    'internet_kinhths' => ['required',Rule::notIn(['-'])],
   'international_kinhths' => ['required',Rule::notIn(['-'])],
    'twin_sim_kinhths' => ['required',Rule::notIn(['-'])],
    'wind_unlimited_kinhths' => ['required',Rule::notIn(['-'])],
]);


if ($validator->fails()) {
    return back()->withErrors($validator)->withInput();
}

In the blade file i am trying to catch the errors using the code bellow.

@if($errors->any())
    @foreach($errors->all() as $error)
    <script>
        $.notify(
            {
                title: '<strong>ERROR!</strong>',
                message: '{{$error}}',
            },
            {
                type: 'danger',
            },
        )
    </script>
    @endforeach
@endif

Also i want to put the old values into the input fields using {{old('value'}}

The problem i have is that i can't combine both errors and inputs. If i return only the errors using withErrors($validator) the errors are printed out. And if i return only withInput i have the post values.

Any ideas?

You can use $this->validateWith([]), put your validation here you don't need to redirect back to your page, it will redirect of the page from where that request happend. — udit rawat
Illuminate\Foundation\Validation\ValidatesRequests; this is already extended by your app\Http\Controllers\Controller.php file. you just need to use it — udit rawat
I tried it. By using this, i don't get neither errors or old post values... — Vasilis13
