Trying to get property of non-object while passing array of data to controller in Laravel 5.2

Question

When i am passing an associative array of data to controller its showing error that 'trying to get non-object property' my controller function is,

        public function storeWBS(Request $request) {
        foreach($request->all() as $value){
            $formValue                = new WorkBreakdownStructure;
            $formValue->form_field_id = $value->idea_id;
            $formValue->value         = $value->wbs_description;
            $formValue->save();

        return back();}

    }

i have set the variables 'fillable' in model

'id' ,'form_field_id' ,'value' if i print the '$formValue' with DD() i am getting the result

#parameters: array:4 [▼
  "_token" => "u6iwKspevWLiuI6CRPhd82c8xm0EYb6IGQQJX2aR"
  "idea_id" => array:3 [▼
    0 => "1"
    1 => "1"
    2 => "1"
  ]
  "wbs_description" => array:3 [▼
    0 => "Work Breakdown Structure #1 :"
    1 => "Work Breakdown Structure #2"
    2 => "Work Breakdown Structure #3"
  ]
  "percentage" => array:3 [▼
    0 => "50"
    1 => "12"
    2 => "12"
  ]
]

all() returns array, not object so you cannot access it as you do now:

.... = $value->idea_id;

Instead you need to change this and use array syntax:

.... = $value['idea_id'];

EDIT

You also should remove forach() because you basically iterate over the array which makes no sense:

public function storeWBS(Request $request) {
      $value = $request->all();
            $formValue                = new WorkBreakdownStructure;
            $formValue->form_field_id = $value->idea_id;
            $formValue->value         = $value->wbs_description;
            $formValue->save();

        return back();
}

Also you need to fix return back(); line. whatever back() refers to, you most likely invoking it wrong.

What you see when you do var_dump($value); or DD($value); in your loop?
