Delete multiple records (Laravel) - html

Question

I want to delete multiple records at one time using checkboxes. My code is not working.
my html
#foreach($userallergens as $aller)
<input type="hidden" name="ua_id" value="{{$aller->ua_id}}">
<input type="checkbox" class="allergies" name="allergen[]" value="{{$aller->ua_id}}">
{{ $aller->allergen_name}}</label>
<label>Tolerance Level:<b>{{$aller->tolerance_level}}</b></label><br>
#endforeach
my controller
public function destroy(Request $request){
$id=Auth::user()->id;
$uaid=UserAllergen::where('ua_id', $request['ua_id'])->get();
if (is_array($id))
{
UserAllergen::destroy($uaid);
}
else
{
UserAllergen::where('ua_id', $uaid)->delete();
}
return redirect()->route('user.profile', compact('user', 'id'));
}

Answer 1

ua_id should be ua_id[] so the form posts it as an array, you got it right for the allergens
There are a few mistakes first:
$id=Auth::user()->id;
and
if (is_array($id))
That's never going to work since the user id is always a non array value
Then you need to make a few changes to your code
Also change this
UserAllergen::where('ua_id', $uaid)->delete();
To this
UserAllergen::whereIn('ua_id', $uaid)->delete();
Also unless ua_id is your primary key i would avoid using destroy as it bases on the table primary key (id usually), you can instead use
UserAllergen::where('ua_id', $uaid)->delete();
However, if it's the PK of your table you can use destroy in the case of the array as well reducing your code to just
public function destroy(Request $request){
$uaid = $request->get('ua_id'); // array
UserAllergen::destroy($uaid);
return redirect()->route('user.profile', compact('user', 'id'));
}
or
public function destroy(Request $request){
$uaid = $request->get('ua_id'); // array
UserAllergen::whereIn('ua_id', $uaid)->delete();
return redirect()->route('user.profile', compact('user', 'id'));
}

Delete multiple Rows (record) in Laravel 5.8:
$rowIds = "1,3,5";
$Rowsdeleted = explode(",", $rowIds);
foreach($Rowsdeleted as $rowId) {
$response = YourModelName::where('id',"=",$rowId)->delete();
}

Answer 3

use in controller
public function destroy(Request $request){
$uaid = $request->get('ua_id'); // array
UserAllergen::whereIn('ua_id', $uaid)->delete();
return redirect()->route('user.profile', compact('user', 'id'));
}
when you comes with array of that id's
