checkbox controller in laravel - laravel

Question

Hello this is my controller in laravel and I am not getting the problem here. It checks the file if I manually enter a dataset with the value of 1 but if I do it with the system it does not update the value and the box remains to 0 with unchecked box.
What I am trying to do is tick the box if the user tick it and keep the box ticked until he ticks it off plus update the database value too. Thank you in advance
public function tickoffUpload($id, $type, User $user) {
$uploads = $this->upload->get($id);
// if($this->request->isMethod('get')) {
// if($user->can('untick', $uploads)) {
// $uploads = $this->upload = 0;
// } else {
// return $uploads = $this->upload = 1;
// }
// }
if($this->request->isMethod('get')) {
if($type == 0) {
$uploads = $this->upload = 1;
} else if($type == 1){
$uploads = $this->upload = 0;
}
}
if(isset($_POST["uploaded"]) && !empty($_POST["uploaded"])) {
$uploads->uploaded = $this->request->uploaded;
$uploads->save();
}
return redirect('/home');
}

I have sorted this out. I was not getting the requesting value from the form as you can see here $uploads->uploaded = $this->upload = 1; so here is the updated code which I did and worked.
public function tickoffUpload($id, $type, User $user) {
$uploads = $this->upload->get($id); //gets upload id
// requesting uploaded value either 0 or 1
if($this->request->isMethod('get')) {
if($type == 0) {
$uploads->uploaded = $this->request->upload = 1;
} else if($type == 1) {
$uploads->uploaded = $this->request->upload = 0;
}
}
$uploads->save(); // saving the value in database
return redirect('/home');
}
Thank you d3r1ck for the help though ... :)
