This regular Expression will force a number between 0-23
Raw Reg ex:
^1?[0-9]{1}$|^2[0-3]{1}$
I'm remembering for php some of these char in the regex provided need
to be escaped.
Formated for PHP:
/^1?[0-9]{1}$|^2[0-3]{1}$/
And here is a good on line real time tester for regular expressions:

To break down the regular expression
^ - Start of line
1? - means the number '1' for 0 or 1 occurrences. This is used for the
first char of 10-19
[0-9]{1} - means digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 for {1} exactly one
character this covers 0-9 and the second char of 10-19
$ - End of line
| - or condition Match the previous set (0-19) or the following set
(20-23)
^ - Start of line
2 - the number 2 for the first char in 20-23
[0-3]{1} - means digits 0,1,2,3 for {1} exactly one character. This
covers the 0-3 or the second char when the first char is 2
$ - End of line
var $validate = array(
'hour' => array(
'required' => true,
'rule' => '/^1?[0-9]{1}$|^2[0-3]{1}$/',
'message' => 'Only numbers between 0-23'
)
);
