Form dropdown menu passing array as object

Question

I'm trying to pass trough form dropdown selection but I can't pass array(the rest of the form is using objects. This is my code

Controller

$var->user = $request->users->id;

view

{!! Form::select('users', $users,null, ['placeholder' => 'Pick a user']) !!}

One solution is converting array to object using eloquent, how can that be done

If you want to get selected user's ID, I guess you need to do this:

$request->users

You're getting "Trying to get property of non-object" error, because $request->users is not an object.

but when sending form the error "Trying to get property of non-object" – OunknownO Aug 10 '16 at 12:38
I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Please read updated answer. You can look what you get after form submitting with this clause `dd($request->all());`. – Alexey Mezenin Aug 10 '16 at 12:47
how to turn that into an object with eloquent – OunknownO Aug 10 '16 at 12:49
You mean turn string (ID) to an object? What kind of object do you want to get (and instance of a User model or something else)? Why do you want this? – Alexey Mezenin Aug 10 '16 at 12:57

If you want to get the user list you can follow this:

In Controller:

$user_id = UserModel::lists('username','id')->all();

"usename" and "id" is user-table fields.you can replace any other fields which you will show in user list.

In view:

{!! Form::select('user_id', $user_id,Input::old('user_id'),['placeholder'=>'select  user']) !!}
