Store array values from multiple input field - Laravel

Question

What I'm trying to do is Schedule form represent in table with input field like day, start time, and end time.

In blade file, I have an array that I assigned values which is represent days (7 in total). The reason I put in array cause I don't want to write html code 7 times. I do FOR loop to display input field with assigned value.

Then, I want to input another value which is 'start time' and 'end time' according to each day.

Below is my code

In blade


    <?php
          $days = array("Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Satuday");
          $daylength=count($days);

          for($i=0; $i<$daylength; $i++)
          {
     ?>
            <tr>
            <td><input type="text" name="day[]" class="form-control" value="{{ $days[$i] }}" disabled/></td>
            <td><input type="time" name="start_time[]" class="form-control"/></td>
            <td><input type="time" name="end_time[]" class="form-control"/></td>
            <td></td>
            </tr>

    <?php } ?>

In controller

$days = $request->input('day');
$start_time = $request->input('start_time');
$end_time = $request->input('end_time');
$zone_id = $zone->id;

    for($count = 0; $count < count($days); $count++)
    {
        $data = array(
                'day' => $days[$count],
                'start_time'  => $start_time[$count],
                'end_time'  => $end_time[$count],
                'zone_id'  => $zone_id,
              );

        $insert_schedule[] = $data; 
     }
     Schedule::insert($insert_schedule);

What I expected, it should store input values into database table. The problem is after submitting the form, controller request empty value.

The error shown :

count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable

Hope anyone can help. Thank you in advanced.

maybe it's not submitting day because the input is disabled? — whmkr

Yes you're right ! I found the solution from one of the answers below. I should replace "disabled" to "readonly". — H.S

disabled input won't submit. You need to use readonly if you want to make it not editable by user.

<input type="text" name="day[]" class="form-control" value="{{ $days[$i] }}" readonly/>

Change

<input type="text" name="day[]" class="form-control" value="{{ $days[$i] }}" disabled/>

To

<input type="text" name="day[]" class="form-control" value="{{ $days[$i] }}" />

Disabled inputs will not submit with the form request. You'll have to use a different technique if you don't want a user to be able to change the value. Can it be hidden?

Thanks for the solution. It can't be hidden cause I need to display the days, but I don't want the user make any change on that. Finally found the solution, I must replace "disabled" with "readonly".

try this:

 for ($i = 0; $i < $start_time; $i++) {
    foreach ($days as $day) {
      $insert_array[] = array(
      'day' => $day[$i ],
        'start_time'  => $start_time[$i ],
        'end_time'  => $end_time[$i ],
        'zone_id'  => $zone_id,
          );
         }
       }

Thanks for the answer. I replace "disabled" with "readonly" at input (html). It's worked.

There is a problem in count() function try :

for($count = 0; $count < collect($days)->count(); $count++)
{
    $data = array(
            'day' => $days[$count],
            'start_time'  => $start_time[$count],
            'end_time'  => $end_time[$count],
            'zone_id'  => $zone_id,
          );

    $insert_schedule[] = $data; 
 }
