How can I check if my form input value exist in controller array?
$admins = User::role(['admin', 'superadmin'])->pluck('id'); // get array of admins id
if($request->input('user_id') == $admins) { // if user_id is include admins id...
// do something
} else {
// do something else
}
Try this:
if(in_array($request->input('user_id'), $admins)) { // if user_id is include admins id...
// do something
} else {
// do something else
}
You could as well perform it in a single query:
$user_admin = User::role(['admin', 'superadmin'])->find($request->input('user_id')); // returns null if not found or the $user if found
if($user_admin) { /
// do something
} else {
// do something else
}
If you are working with collections you can use their methods.
In this case you could use contains() method.
$admins = User::role(['admin', 'superadmin'])->pluck('id'); //this return a collection
if($admins->contains($request->input('user_id'))) { // use the contains method of collection
// do something
} else {
// do something else
}
->pluck() returns a native array, not a collection. Using ->contains() will throw an error.
Uncaught Error: Call to a member function contains() on arraypluck () function should return a collection not an array. You could use collect () helper to make it a collection but if it is an array you have reason to use in_array as you have commented. thanks for your help!
