Paste the view and controller.

The view is non-existent as it's getting returned as a JSON object. This is the controller method:

public function register() {
  $user = new User;
  if( $user->save() ) {
    return Response::json($user, 200);
  }
  else {
    return Response::json( $user->errors()->all(), 500 );
  }
}

Solution

So I finally figured it out - text inputs of type email send an empty value if they aren't formatted properly, which is why an improperly formatted email field would never even reach the email validation, as it was always coming in empty. Something to watch out for :)
