laravel collective checkbox form

Question

I'm trying to implement checkbox and laravel collective in my form but I get only single value in form, any ideas how to fix it

{!! Form::open(array('action'=>'UserController@updateInfo','method'=>'post')) !!}
 Workdays:
<br>
{!! Form::label('monday', 'Monday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'monday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('tuesday', 'Tuesday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'tuesday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('wednesday', 'Wednesday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'wednesday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('thursday', 'Thursday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'thursday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('friday', 'Friday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'friday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('saturday', 'Saturday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'saturday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('sunday', 'Sunday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'sunday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::submit('Save', $attributes = ['class'=>'button']) !!}
{!! Form::close() !!}

when I print my request i only get single output (eg. selected monday friday I get only friday when request is processed)

also labels not working - ideas on that too?

You're using the same name (workday) for all your checkboxes. That's why it's only showing the last checkbox with that name

Just change all names to workday[] instead.

{!! Form::checkbox('workday[]', 'monday') !!}

This will return all selected checkbox in an array.

Your labels seems to be fine. What are you getting? – raz Nov 02 '16 at 04:55
if you're having any further issues you can refer to these sites: [laravel recipes: labels](http://laravel-recipes.com/recipes/154/creating-a-form-label-element) or [laravel docs: labels](https://laravel.com/docs/4.2/html#labels) – raz Nov 02 '16 at 04:59
labels are there but when i click them checkbox is not clicked, I need to click on checkbox in order to select item, can't click text for checkbox toggle – ggoran Nov 02 '16 at 10:26
labels are linked to the `id` of the checkbox, not the `name`. Just add an `id` on your checkbox same with the name of your label: `{!! Form::checkbox('workday[]', 'sunday', null, ['id' => 'sunday']) !!}` – raz Nov 02 '16 at 16:03
Don't forget to add `null` on the third argument – raz Nov 02 '16 at 16:15
love it works, thanks on reference for laravel recipes, have useful stuffs there – ggoran Nov 02 '16 at 18:35

Try this: You used same name for every checkbox when you checked multiple checkbox you only get the last value.

{!! Form::open(array('action'=>'UserController@updateInfo','method'=>'post')) !!}
 Workdays:
<br>
{!! Form::label('monday', 'Monday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday[]', 'monday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('tuesday', 'Tuesday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday[]', 'tuesday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('wednesday', 'Wednesday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday[]', 'wednesday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('thursday', 'Thursday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday[]', 'thursday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('friday', 'Friday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday[]', 'friday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('saturday', 'Saturday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday[]', 'saturday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('sunday', 'Sunday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday[]', 'sunday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::submit('Save', $attributes = ['class'=>'button']) !!}
{!! Form::close() !!}

{{ Form::checkbox('workday[]', 'monday') }}
