I have a database table with 2 columns, an auto incrementing ID and a name. I am trying to add checkboxes to my form for each ID from this table. I'm trying to do this using a foreach, but I am not sure if this is the correct way, I'm very new to laravel.
This is in my controller:
$role = DB::table('role')->lists('role_name', 'id');
$labourTypes = DB::table('labour_type')->lists('labour_type_name', 'id');
return view('pages.addemployee', compact('role', 'labourTypes'));
This is in my forms page .php
@foreach($labourTypes as $labourType)
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
@if(in_array($labourType->id))
{{ Form::checkbox('labourType[]', $labourType->id, false) }}
@endif
{{ $labourType->labour_type_name }}
</label>
</div>
@endforeach
I'm just trying to populate the form with a label (labour_type_name), and a corresponding checkbox.
Thanks.
The code sample is missing the second arg for in_array, it doesn't know where to look
Sorry, if I am understanding this correctly, it should be
@if(in_array($labourType->id, $labourTypes))
Still receiving an error.
Actually if your just trying to list out each element you should be able to use:
@foreach($labourTypes as $id => $name)
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
{!! Form::checkbox("labour_types[]", $id) !!} {{$name}}
</label>
<div>
@endforeach
Notice I switched the field name to snake_case, html doesn't recognize capitalization
I can suggest you to try using "Cloudbacko Software" as this software gives best results while taking backup and with backup it can help you in restoring also. Try it!
