This is my html blade code
{{Form::checkbox('remember_me', '', array('id'=>'remember_id'))}}
<label for="remember_id">Remember me</label>
This is my controller code:
echo Input::get('remember_me');exit;
The result is always empty, why please?
The checkbox is always checked when I run the page, why please?
Thanks
Please have a look on the [parameter list of the Form::checkbox() method][1].
The second parameter is your checkbox value. You manually set it to an empty string. Set it to null in order to keep the browsers default values (laravel default is 1). The third parameter is a boolean. Set it to true to check the box and false to uncheck it.
The fourth parameter is your options array where you can specify your id. So the correct method call should be:
{{Form::checkbox('remember_me', null, false, array('id'=>'remember_id'))}}
Update:
Checkboxes that are not checked, will not be included in your POST data. So the only reliable way to verify that a checkbox has been checked is to check if it is set. That can be done using isset() with regular PHP functions, or if laravel is being used, by using Input::has() which returns a boolean dependent on whether your input data contains a given key.
null when the checkbox is checked
null when it's unchecked and you cannot alter this behavior. That means you first need to check whether the checkbox has a value, and then check for the value. null should not be printed when you checked the box. Are you sure you did not put null in string literals?on when the checkbox is checked and nothing when it is not checked. so you mean that I need just to check if the form has the checkbox name. otherwise, the checkbox will not checked, right?Input::has('remember_me') in your controller. You should get null when the checkbox has not been checked and true otherwiseYou did not add a value to the checkbox
{{Form::checkbox('remember_me', 'value goes here', true, array('id'=>'remember_id'))}}
The second param is the value
false in the second value, but still the checkbox is checked and nothing printed in the controllervalue goes here . what i need is either true/false or on/ofNormally I write the checkbox without blade and I can do with it whatever I want, like normal HTML. I don't see why you can do it the normal HTML way, because it always ends up doing the same thing you expert.
{!! Form::label('Test-2') !!} {!! Form::checkbox('ch[]', 'value-2', false); !!}
