HTML Form naming conventions - html

Question

If I have an HTML form with two inputs that would insert/modify a columns with the same name in two tables in a database.
What would be the best way to name my input elements?
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="mothers_name" name="name" placeholder="Enter Mothers Name">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="childs_name" name="name" placeholder="Enter Child's Name">
</div>
db-
--table1
---name
--table2
--name
I am trying to save these information using laravels create(request->all())
I see that the request object contains the last input value.

I would name the inputs the same way you have named the ids. (Or something similar.)
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="mothers_name" name="mothers_name" placeholder="Enter Mother's Name">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="childs_name" name="childs_name" placeholder="Enter Child's Name">
</div>
Within your Controller, you could do something like this:
public function storeNameTable1(Request $request) {
$store_name = new Table1;
$store_name->name = $request->mothers_name;
$store_name->save();
}
public function storeNameTable2(Request $request) {
$store_name = new Table2;
$store_name->name = $request->childs_name;
$store_name->save();
}
