How do I add multiple data at once in Laravel? - php

Question

I have a field gender, age-group and patient_type. I want to store count for each patient type with age-group and gender. This is my form formData. And this is array of data I get arrayData. Also multiple age-group can be added.
For example, age-group=0-1, new_patient=>male=10,Female=60, old_patient=>male=50, female=20. How can I store this form data for multiple age-groups.
My Form code
<div class="newAgeGroup mt-5" id="newAgeGroup_0">
<div class="form-group row">
<div class="col-md-2">
<label for="">Select Age Group</label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5 mb-3">
<select name="age_id[]" class="form-control" id="">
<option value="">Select Age Group</option>
#foreach($ages as $age)
<option value="{{$age->id}}">{{$age->start_age}}
-{{$age->end_age}}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5">
<button type="button" onclick="addAgeGroup();"
class="btn btn-primary rounded-0 float-right addAgeGroup">Add Age Group
</button>
</div>
</div>
<table class="table table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th></th>
#foreach($patient_types as $patient_type)
<th>
{{$patient_type->name}}
<input type="hidden" name="patient_type_id[]" value="{{ $patient_type->id }}">
</th>
#endforeach
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach($genders as $gender)
<tr>
<th>
{{$gender->name}}
<input type="hidden" name="gender_id[]" value="{{ $gender->id }}">
</th>
#foreach($patient_types as $patient_type)
<?php
$name =
"number_".$patient_type->id."_".$gender->id ;
?>
<td>
<input type="text" name="{{ $name }}[]" class="form-control">
</td>
#endforeach
</tr>
#endforeach
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
And this is what I have tried.
foreach ($request->input('age_id') as $key => $value) {
foreach ($request->input('patient_type_id') as $pt => $ptvalue) {
foreach ($request->input('gender_id') as $gkey => $gvalue) {
foreach ($request->input('number_'.$ptvalue.'_'.$gvalue) as $nkey => $nvalue) {
$report = new Report();
$report->admin_id = $this->admin()->id;
$report->category_id = $request->center_type;
$report->center_id = $request->center_id;
$report->dateTime = $request->dateTime;
$report->nationality = $request->nationality;
$report->type = 'OPD';
$report->age_id = collect($request->get('age_id')[$key])->implode(',');
$report->patient_type_id = collect($request->get('patient_type_id')[$pt])->implode(',');
$report->gender_id = collect($request->get('gender_id')[$gkey])->implode(',');
$report->number = collect($request->get('number_'.$ptvalue.'_'.$gvalue)[$nkey])->implode(',');
$report->save();
}
}
}
}

If I understand well, you want a single age group to have multiple records associated with it.
If that's the case I recommend you, to use relation in the database to achieve that.
For example these two tables:
Age group
age group attributes
id
id
age
age_group_id
gender
patient type
And when you save, the relationship will have you have counters and a better way to unite everything.
I hope this is useful to you.
