I'm trying to create two separate validation messages for the same validation attribute. There are two rules that use "before_or_equal" - the end_time has to be "before_or_equal" start_time and also the end_time has to be after 5:00 (time). The validation works, but I can't seem to find a way to create a working custom message for the latter.

I tried to specify the rule by including it literally with the value, but it doesn't seem to work.

This is what the custom request validation looks like for the end_time at the moment.

    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'end_time' => ['after_or_equal:start_time', 'after_or_equal:5:00'],
        ];
    }

    public function messages()
    {
        return [
            'end_time.after_or_equal'     => 'Message 1',
            'end_time.after_or_equal:5:00'    => 'Message 2',
        ];
    }

You can use :date for your custom error messages.

Example:

    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'end_time' => ['after_or_equal:start_time', 'after_or_equal:5:00'],
        ];
    }

    public function messages()
    {
        return [
            'end_time.after_or_equal' => 'the :attribute time must be after :date',
        ];
    }

The replaced value is actual value of first input of the validator

i don't know if i understand your question correctly, but are you looking for something like this ?

public function rules()
{
    return $this->messages("end_time", [
        "after_or_equal",
        "after_or_equal:5:00",
    ]);
}

public function messages(string $Key, array $CustomAttributes)
{
    $Exceptions = [
        "end_time" => [
            "after_or_equal" => "Message 1",
            "after_or_equal:5:00" => "Message 2"
        ]
    ];
    $Exception = [
        $Key => []
    ];
    foreach ($CustomAttributes as $Attribute) {
        array_push($Exception[$Key], $Exceptions[$Key][$Attribute]);
    }
    return $Exception;
}
