Laravel: IF statement drop down list - laravel

Question

So i currently have a drop down list where it will output a list of hotels based on its price. I now want to further develop the drop down list so that it can output a list of hotels based on price AND distance. How would i exactly create a drop down list that will output a list of hotels based on 2 or more criteria.
SearchController.php
public function index(Request $request)
{
$distances = DB::table('posts')->select('distance')->distinct()->get()->pluck('distance');
$prices = DB::table('posts')->select('price')->distinct()->get()->pluck('price');
$postsInRange = $request->has('distance')
? Post::where('distance', $request->distance)->get()
: [];
$postsInRange1 = $request->has('price')
? Post::where('price', $request->price)->get()
: [];
return view('Pages.search', [
'distances' => $distances,
'prices' => $prices,
'posts' => $postsInRange,
'posts' => $postsInRange1,
]);
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
// This will return all request data to your screen.
return $request->all();
return view('Pages.search');
}
Search.blade.php
<select name="distance" id="distance" class="form-control input-lg dynamic" data-dependent="state">
<option value="">Distance</option>
#foreach($distances as $distance)
<option value="{{ $distance }}">{{ $distance }}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
<br>
<select name="price" id="price" class="form-control input-lg dynamic" data-dependent="state">
<option value="">Price</option>
#foreach($prices as $price)
<option value="{{ $price}}">{{ $price}}</option>
#endforeach
So to clarify the drop down list works but only outputs one of the choices selected.

I think what you need is query filter
$post = new Post;
if ($request->has('price')) {
$post->where('price', $request->price);
}
if ($request->has('distance')) {
$post->where('distance', $request->distance);
}
return view('Pages.search', [
'distances' => $distances,
'prices' => $prices,
'posts' => $post->get()
]);
I assume that you need one list applying both filters.
