Laravel forms - array of same field

Question

I'm trying to replicate this logic:

insert multiple fields using foreach loop - using laravel 4 and blade.

I tried this:

<div>
    {{ Form::select('linkType[]', array('Facebook', 'Twitter','Other')) }}
    {{ Form::text('linkUrl[]') }}<br>
    {{ Form::select('linkType[]', array('Facebook', 'Twitter','Other')) }}
    {{ Form::text('linkUrl[]') }}
    ...
</div>

But that gives me this laravel error:

ErrorException (E_UNKNOWN) htmlentities() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given (view:...)

Any idea how to fix that? Thanks

Update

A few of these works: {{ Form::text('linkurl[]') }} So that is written as it should.
A few of this also works:

<select name="linktype[]"/>
    <option value="facebook">Facebook</option>
    <option value="twitter">Twitter</option>
</select>

So the problem is 99% sure in the:

{{ Form::select('linkType[]', array('Facebook', 'Twitter','Other')) }}

What I'm I doing wrong?

Which exact Laravel version are you using? Can you post the full stack trace and preferable your entire view where you're creating the form? — Dries Vints

Laravel 4 homestead - I have no idea how, but after a few hours of testing and commenting lines away while testing it suddenly started worked with the code from the opening post. The only thing that changed was a lable that I removed... I will answer my question and post my full code as edu material. — Vinobe

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
    <div>
        {{ Form::select('linkType[]', ['Facebook', 'Twitter','Other']) }}
    </div>
</body>
</html>

As commented under the opening post. After hours of trying to debug the original code started working. (I did remove the label for the select.) But I just found out ->withInput() was killing it, it cannot give back an input[] array. And as I think I had set my label for "linkType[]" that might have been the problem. Solution was to set withInput(Input::except('linkUrl','linkType')) so it does not give back the links the user submitted. Will answer fully and type out findings later this week.
