Getting selected values from a multiple select form in Laravel
laravel, laravel-3, php
Solution
First, if you want to have multiple item selected by default, you have to give an array of values as 3rd parameter, not a simple value.
Exemple:
Form::select('size', array('L' => 'Large', 'M' => 'Medium', 'S' => 'Small'), array('S', 'M'), array('multiple'));
should show the select with S and M selected.
For the second point, you should try to give a name like `size[]` instead of `size`, it could be solve the problem (because your posted select is not a simple value, its an array of values)
Problem
For generating a drop-down list with an item selected by default, the following is done: ``` echo Form::select('size', array('L' => 'Large', 'M' => 'Medium', 'S' => 'Small'), 'S'); ``` So I generated a drop-down list that has more than one item selected by default, in the following way: ``` echo Form::select('size', array('L' => 'Large', 'M' => 'Medium', 'S' => 'Small'), array('S', 'M'), array('multiple')); ``` But how do I get the more than one selected values? `Input::get('size')` returns only the last selected string.
