get content from div for form input laravel

Question

I have a form in laravel (not using blade) using CKEditor. I am trying to get the content from it in a div called editorcontents when I submit the form as it is submitting a blog post (so it needs to have the formatting from that div as well).

I tried assigning a name to the div, but no luck. How can I use the div just as a input field?

<div id="editorcontents" name="editorcontents">
</div>

$content = Input::get('editorcontents');
return $content;

Trying to stay away from ajax for this one. I can do it with ajax, but I have been told to stick to PHP. — Haring10

CKEditor is running in JQuery, but for passing stuff I have been told to use PHP, so I want to stick to that. — Haring10

Try this with ajax in jQuery to get html content of editorcontents and post this to controller in server :) ... I hope this help

Html

<div id="editorcontents" name="editorcontents">
</div>

Jquery

    var inputValue = $("#editorcontents").html;     
    $.ajax( {
        type : "POST",
        cache : false,
        async : true,
        global : false,
        url : "URL POST DATA",
        data : {
            editorcontents : escape(inputValue),
        }
    } ).done( function ( data )
    {   
        //Handle event send done;
    } )

I am trying to stay away from ajax, but in this case, how long can the string for editorcontents be? Because I originally tried to use it, but it returned nothing if the string was too long

But when trying to post +- 1000 lines it sent an empty string instead?
