I have a ticketing system in laravel and my problem is I have multiple input fields in my site which are title
fname
lasname
and that came from the inputs of how many passengers are included. Now I have two tables which are booking
and booking_details
. I want to save the Contact Details and Mobile Number (which are shown below) to bookings
table, and the other input fields like the Title First Name… in the booking_details
table referencing the booking_id
. I already finished setting the database and the relations of the two tables and now my problem is to save multiple names of the passengers in my booking_details
table? That is my only problem. I tried different ways like using the array but I can’t solve it. Maybe the syntax or logic is wrong. Can someone tell me what to do? Thanks in advance.
My Form.
<form method="POST" action="{{url("/saveBooking")}}">
<div class="form-row">
<div class="col-sm-6 form-group">
<input name="email" class="form-control" id="email" required="" placeholder="Enter Email" type="text">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6 form-group">
<input name="mobile_no" class="form-control" data-bv-field="number" id="mobileNumber" required="" placeholder="Enter Mobile Number" type="text">
</div>
</div>
<p class="text-info">Your booking details will be sent to this email address and mobile number.</p>
@for ($i = 0 ; $i<$split1 ; $i++)
<button style="margin: 5px;" type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-info collapsible" >Passenger <?php echo $i + 1 ?></button>
<div class="form-row content" style=" display: none;margin-top:7px;" >
<div class="col-sm-2 form-group" >
<select class="custom-select" id="title" name="title[]" required="">
<option value="">Title</option>
<option>Mr</option>
<option>Ms</option>
<option>Mrs</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-5 form-group">

</div>
<div class="col-sm-5 form-group">
<input name="lname[]" class="form-control" data-bv-field="number" id="lastName" required="" placeholder="Enter Last Name" type="text">
</div>
<div id="new_chq">

Answer
Your data is coming as array from the form. So loop over the array and insert values in each iteration. Sample Approach:
public function addBooking(Request $request)
{
$booking = Booking::create([
'mobile_no' => $request->mobile_no,
'email' => $request->email,
//add if you want you add any more column
]);
foreach ($request->title as $key => $value) {
BookingDetails::create([
'booking_id' => $booking_id,
'title' => $request->title[$key],
'fname' => $request->fname[$key],
'lname' => $request->lname[$key],
//other columns
]);
}
return->back();
}
