Its urgent please help. I want to insert multiple checkboxes and input text fields but the issues is if i am filling 3 input fields in sequence and select 2 check boxes 1st and 3rd than below function will add all checkbox vales but i want to skip the 2nd value of check box only because its not selected.
text field:
<input id="answer" type="text" name="answer[]">
Checkbox:
<input id="ifcorrect" type="checkbox" name="ifcorrect[]">
values want to insert:
input: A Checkbox: selected
input: B Checkbox: not selected
input: C Checkbox: selected
in db i want to insert as below
A 1
B 0 //0 because its not selected
C 1
i am using below but it is not working
foreach ($data['answer'] as $key => $value) {
$answer = new Answer();
$answer->answer = $value;
$answer->correct = $data['correct'][$value];
$question->answer()->save($answer);
}
change the names of your fields
<input id="answer" type="text" name="answers[]text">
<input id="ifcorrect" type="checkbox" name="answers[]ifcorrect">
now you will get array of answers, each with an ifCorrect set
foreach ($data['answers'] as $answer) {
if(isset($answer['ifCorrect'])) {
$ans= new Answer();
$ans->answer = $answer['text'];
$ans->correct = true;
$question->answer()->save($ans);
}
}
getting error
Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
where does $data come from?
data comes from blade form the actual issue is its insert only checked checkboxes but i want to insert uncheck boxes also if checked value should be insert 1 otherwise 0
Use hidden inputs for that, like this 2 years old @snapey answer
Note: If a checkbox is unchecked when its form is submitted, there is no value submitted to the server to represent its unchecked state (e.g. value=unchecked); the value is not submitted to the server at all.
