How to get selected data from dropdown button retrieve from database?

Hye,

I want to get dropdown selected data. For your information, my dropdown data is from my database. I already retrieve data from database and put it inside my dropdown. Right now, I want to make validation. If user key in all information and forgot to key in 1 column data, the dropdown part should get the previous selected data right? So here are my coding, I still can get the previous selected data.

<div>
    <x-label for="pizzatype" :value="__('Choose pizza type:')" />
    <select name="pizzatype" id="pizzatype">
        <option selected disabled>Please choose</option>
        @foreach ($pizzainfo as $pizzaitem)
            <option value="{{ old('$pizzaitem->name') }}">{{ $pizzaitem->name }}</option>
        @endforeach
    </select>
</div>

All dropdown button should get the selected previous button…

Answer

As I understand the problem is that you are trying to get an old() value that does not exist… the quick fix is :

<select name="pizzatype" id="pizzatype">
    <option @if(!old('pizzatype')) selected @endif disabled>Please choose</option>
    @foreach ($pizzainfo as $pizzaitem)
        <option @if(old('pizzatype') == $pizzaitem->name) selected @endif value="{{ $pizzaitem->name }}">{{ $pizzaitem->name }}</option>
    @endforeach
</select>
