Hi,

I have a form which is populated dynamically for each employee. Each employee has a set of input fields associated (first name, last name, email). When I have 5 employees, I will end up having 5 sets of these fields.

In view, I use blade templating to create the fields:

{{ Form::text("first_name[$index]", $value = $employee_details->first_name,  $attributes = array()) }}

which generates:

<input class="form-control" name="first_name[0]" value="Name" id="first_name[0]" type="text">

In controller, I use the following syntax to retrieve the value:

$employee->first_name = Input::get('first_name')[$i];

This works on php 5.5.3 (development system) and not on PHP 5.3.10 (server).

What is the correct (backward compatible) syntax to fetch the value of the input field in laravel?

Thank you.
