how to Pass array from view to controller in Laravel? - laravel

Question

I make a form in blade.php, Here I can select multiple checkbox, and I want to pass selected input’s value to controller in a array.But I failed, I can not send the data.
Here is code from view. The selected input’s value can be 1,2 etc;
<form method="post" action="{{action('votesubmitController#votesubmit')}}" class="form">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
#foreach($candidate_list[$post_list->id] as $candidate_list[$post_list->id])
<li>
<input type="checkbox" name= "selected[]" value= {{
$candidate_list[$post_list->id]->id }}>
<label>
<!-- some code here -->
</label>
</li>
#endforeach
<button type="submit" id="login-button">Submit</button>
</form>
Here is route-
Route::post('/votesubmit','votesubmitController#votesubmit');
If I write return $input in controller I find –
{"_token":"TQIUxVz0LjzM84Z7TaUPk3Y7BLZPjmXUyhXhlQfp","selected":
["1","2"]}
That’s I need. I do not know how to get selected value. When I get specific route error exception happens . and says "Undefined variable: selected".
Here is my Controller’s code-
class votesubmitController extends Controller
{
public function votesubmit()
{
$input = Input::all();
// return $input;
foreach ($selected as $selected) {
echo $selected;
}
}
}

Answer 1

// You can try this
class votesubmitController extends Controller
{
public function votesubmit()
{
//$input = Input::all();
//$selected = $input['selected'];
$selected = Input::get('selected');
foreach ($selected as $selected)
{
echo $selected;
}
}
}

Answer 2

Either use
$selected = $input['selected']
Or
pass it using Ajax.
