How can insert array of multiple inputs in database? - php

Question

I'm inserting an array of multiple inputs. but when i dd it or create it doesn't insert or returning any values. How can i use create in this situation? I'm new to laravel.
foreach ($data['sku'] as $key => $val) {
$attrCountSKU = ProductsAttribute::where('sku', $val)->count();
if ($attrCountSKU > 0) {
return back()->with('error', 'SKU already exists for this product! Please input another SKU.');
}
$attrCountSizes = ProductsAttribute::where(['product_id' => $product->id, 'size' => $data['size'][$key]])->count();
if ($attrCountSizes > 0) {
return back()->with('error', 'Size already exists for this product! Please input another Size.');
}
$attribute = new ProductsAttribute;
$attribute->product_id = $product->id;
$attribute->sku = $val;
$attribute->size = $data['size'][$key];
$attribute->price = $data['price'][$key];
$attribute->stock = $data['stock'][$key];
dd($attribute);
dd($attribute->create());
}

Answer 1

You need to save the model, using the save() method.
Add this after setting all the attributes:
$attribute->save();
return $attribute->id // Will be set as the object has been inserted
You could also use the create() method to create and insert the model in one go:
$attribute = ProductsAttribute::create([
'product_id' => $product->id,
'sku' => $val,
'size' => $data['size'][$key],
'price' => $data['price'][$key],
'stock' => $data['stock'][$key],
]);

Answer 2

Instead of $attribute->create() you should use $attribute->save() method.
Or with the create() method you can do like this
$flight = ProductsAttribute::create(
[
'product_id' => $product->id,
'sku' => $val,
'size' => $data['size'][$key],
'price' => $data['price'][$key],
'stock' => $data['stock'][$key],
]
);
