Laravel: Get values of checkboxes

Question

I have multiple checkboxes in the following code:

@foreach($camera_video as $video)
  <input type="checkbox" name="camera_video" value="{{$video->id}}"> <label>{{$video->name}}</label>
@endforeach

I would like to see which checkboxes have been checked by the user. I just need the id (value) to store. What is the best way to do this in Laravel?

Answer 1

You should update name of your checkbox input to camera_video[] as array and you are good to go. You will get input array.

<input type="checkbox" name="camera_video[]" value="{{$video->id}}"> <label>{{$video->name}}</label>

If you are using Laravel 5.x.x you should use Request object:

public function yourMethod(Request $request)
{
    $cameraVideo = $request->input('camera_video');
    ...
}

Answer 2

You can use

Input::all()

or

Input::get('camera_video')

Answer 3

You just need to define the name as an array so that you can fetch the input as array in Laravel. Like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="camera_video[]" value="{{$video->id}}"> <label>{{$video->name}}</label>
