Laravel collective select placeholder not working when multiple is to true {{ Form::select() }}

Question

I have a problem with Laravel collective select placeholder not working

 {{ Form::select('album',$albums,$selected, ['class'=>'form-control','placeholder'=>'select album' ]) }}

But when i allow tags to true like this using select 2, it works fine,

 {{ Form::select('tags[]',$tags,$tagged, ['data-input'=>'select2-tags','multiple'=>true]) }}

The second one works fine, I don't want the album to have multiple input attribute, What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

You can do this with select, but you can add placeholder as the value with 0 index:

$albums[0] = 'select album';

Alternatively, you can create your own select function using Laravel Collective Form macros.

Answer 2

You can follow this :

 {{ Form::select('album', $album , Input::old('album'), array('placeholder' => 'Please select','class'=>'form-control')) }}
