how to recuperate the value of the chosen option in checkbox with laravel? - html

Question

I try to save the value of the chosen option of ckeckbox in database.
but I get always the value "on" saved in my database even I did not chose any option.
this is the code of answercontroller .
public function store(Request $request, Survey $survey)
{
// remove the token
$arr = $request->except('_token');
foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
$newAnswer = new Answer();
if (! is_array( $value )) {
$newValue = $value['answer'];
} else {
$newValue = json_encode($value['answer']);
}
$newAnswer->answer = $newValue;
$newAnswer->question_id = $key;
$newAnswer->user_id = Auth::id();
$newAnswer->survey_id = $survey->id;
$newAnswer->save();
};
this is the view:
{!! Form::open() !!}
#if($question->question_type === 'text')
{{ Form::text('title')}}
#elseif($question->question_type === 'textarea')
<div class="row">
<div class="input-field col s12">
<textarea id="textarea1" class="materialize-textarea"></textarea>
<label for="textarea1">Provide answer</label>
</div>
</div>
#elseif($question->question_type === 'radio')
#foreach((array)$question->option_name as $key=>$value)
<p style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">
<input type="radio" id="{{ $key }}" name="answer"/>
<label for="{{ $key }}">{{ $value }}</label>
</p>
#endforeach
#elseif($question->question_type === 'checkbox')
#foreach((array)$question->option_name as $key=>$value)
<p style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">
<input type="checkbox" id="{{ $key }}" />
<label for="{{$key}}">{{ $value }}</label>
</p>
#endforeach
please help me , how can i get the value of the option. thanks in advance.

Answer 1

That is because you are not setting the value and name of checkbox
#foreach((array)$question->option_name as $key=>$value)
<p style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">
<input type="checkbox" id="{{ $key }}" value="{{ $value }}" name="mycheck[]" />
<label for="{{$key}}">{{ $value }}</label>
</p>
#endforeach
