How to display the value in a readonly input field in laravel - php

Question

So, in my project, a user needs to register first before logging-in. I am trying to display their first, middle and last name. But, I am having a problem since multiple data are displayed on my input field. What is the correct query? Here is my controller code
public function get_first_name()
{
$first_names = UserModel::all();
$input="<input></input>";
foreach($first_names as $first_name)
{
$input.="<input value={$first_name->seq_id}>{$first_name->first_name}</input>";
}
return $input;
}
public function step1()
{
$users = UserModel::all();
$data['optStatus']=$this->get_civil_status();
$data['displayFirstName']=$this->get_first_name();
return view ("enrollment-steps.step1", $data);
}
Here is the blade file
<div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-4">
<div class="form-group row">
<label for="firstName" class="col-sm-3 text-right control-label col-form-label">First
Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-9">
<input class="form-control" type="text" id='firstName' readonly value="{!! $displayFirstName !!}" >
</div>
</div>
</div>
this is the data that it displays

Answer 1

There is some confusing stuff going on there, but you probably want
<input class="form-control" type="text" id='firstName' readonly value="{{ $data['displayFirstName'] }}" >
which will display the value with the key 'displayFirstName' in the $data array.
dd is your friend, use this in your blade file to see what you have in your $data variable.
{{dd($data)}}

Answer 2

In you controller bind the data's in a single variable, then show it in the blade
public function get_first_name()
{
$first_names = UserModel::all();
$input="<input></input>";
foreach($first_names as $first_name)
{
$input.="<input value={$first_name->seq_id}>{$first_name->first_name}</input>";
}
return $input;
}
Instead of this, do something like this:
public function get_first_name()
{
$first_names = UserModel::all();
$input="<input></input>";
foreach($first_names as $first_name)
{
$displayname = $first_name->seq_id . $first_name->first_name;
$input.="<input value="{$displayname}"</input>";
}
return $input;
}
