Take for example these checkboxes:

<input type="checkbox" name="food" value="apple" /> 1
<input type="checkbox" name="food" value="pear" /> 2
<input type="checkbox" name="food" value="banana" /> 3

All three have the same name. When I check all three and submit the form and see what has been submitted with dd($request->input()), the output is: 

"food" => "banana"

It appears only the last input with the same name is saved, even though I selected all three.

When I instead use food[]:

<input type="checkbox" name="food[]" value="apple" /> 1
<input type="checkbox" name="food[]" value="pear" /> 2
<input type="checkbox" name="food[]" value="banana" /> 3

the output is:

"food" => array:3 [▼
    0 => "apple"
    1 => "pear"
    2 => "banana"
]
