How to store checkbox values if check box is in foreach loop (laravel)

If you could perhaps perform a search, a while back Cronix gave a splendid example of just that.

I was curious, so I did a quick search, so many previous good answers: https://laracasts.com/discuss?q=checkbox+array

See https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/how-to-pass-checkbox-value-0-if-not-checked-and-1-if-checked-using-array if($request->has

I searched but did not find anything.

@Cronix So how to save?

As I said, I'm not going to do it all. You should be able to tell that from my code in the controller where I'm looping over $infractions to get the ids... That part is basic laravel.

I couldn't tell you how to save anyway, as you don't show any relationships or anything, or what it is you're trying to save. What data do you need to create a new inspection?

Do a normal form, not foreach a form. Look at some of those examples. Remember a checkbox has no POST if not checked,

You have to check that in controller.

That's why I showed the:

if($request->has ...

@jlrdw The foreach to create the checkboxes is fine... It's coming from the database, so you should foreach over it to create the checkboxes...

You should use implode() function to store all those values from checkboxes with same field name while storing in the database and use explode() function to break it down again before displaying it in the view files. Here's an example on storing multiple values from checkbox in basic php from webtrickshome from where you can get the basic ideas on how to handle it.

<table class="table table-bordered">
    @foreach($infractions as $infraction)
       <tr>
           <th>{{ $infraction->title }}</th>
           <td>
               <input type="checkbox" name="infraction_id[{{ $infraction->id }}]" value="{{ $infraction->id }}" />
           </td>
       </tr>
    @endforeach
</table>

public function store(Request $request)
{
    if($request['infraction_id']!= null){
            foreach ($request['infraction_id'] as $inf){
               $query="insert into inspection () value ()";
            }
        }
        auth()->user()->inspections()->create($request->all());
}

My field is title in database and my checkbox name is infraction_id[{{ $infraction->id }}].

I have worked with checkboxes for years, and it seems so neat to do an array, but the array becomes a mess to deal with. I like working with individual checkboxes. Just a little more code.

Any example convert to laravel request methods.

In controller:

$adopted = (isset($_POST['adopted']) == '1' ? '1' : '0');

If adopted was not passed

The animal's checkbox wasn't checked thus a

0 is stored

And the animal is still available for adoption.

Otherwise a 1 (one) is stored and the animal has been adopted.

In a view when showing form

<input type="checkbox" name="adopted" id="adopted" value="1"<?php echo ($cat->adopted == 1 ? ' checked' : ''); ?>>

So if a 1 (one) is already stored in the database, the checkbox will be checked. Otherwise the checkbox will not be checked.

If you stay away from that multi check array stuff you won't have these problems.

Just work with individual single checkboxes. So there's 20 of them, so what.

I want to change php (a example) to laravel.

Just convert to blade, I don't use blade myself. a lot of people use blade because of its HTMLentities built-in, me I just strip tags.

Another technique is the hidden technique see this post
