Laravel create an array in postman and save in database - php

Question

I am having troubles at this situation.
This is what I show in Postman
Controller
public function index(Request $request)
{
$user = Auth::guard('api');
if ($user)
{
$parameters=new UserParameters();
$parameters->id_user=Auth::guard('api')->id();
$parameters->day=$request->day;
if($parameters->save())
{
$times=$request->time;
foreach ( $times as $time)
{
$new_time = new TimeParameter();
$new_time->id_parameter = $parameters->id;
$new_time->time = $time[0];
$new_time->hour = $time[1];
$new_time->save();
}
return response()->json(['true' => false, 'message' => 'Saved!']);
}
}
else
{
return response()->json(['error' => false, 'message' => 'User not found!']);
}
}
I stuck at for loop. How can I handle this situation ?
This is what i get in database

This is because of how your key's are named. time[0].time is not valid and maybe it is reading it to time[0] only. Which is why you are only getting the hours. time[0].time = 'morning';
time[0].hour = '10:00';
- then it will not count the .time or the .hour because that is not valid. then it would only make it time[0] which then explains why you are only getting the hours.
With the changes on the postman data that I asked you to do. You can try this solution.
public function index(Request $request)
{
$user = Auth::guard('api');
if ($user)
{
$parameters=new UserParameters();
$parameters->id_user=Auth::guard('api')->id();
$parameters->day=$request->day;
if($parameters->save())
{
$data= $request->all();
foreach ( $data['times'] as $time)
{
$new_time = new TimeParameter();
$new_time->id_parameter = $parameters->id;
$new_time->time = $time[0];
$new_time->hour = $time[1];
$new_time->save();
}
return response()->json(['true' => false, 'message' => 'Saved!']);
}
}
else
{
return response()->json(['error' => false, 'message' => 'User not found!']);
}
}

Problem
I don't know how your code works, because this for ( $times as $time) is not how for works.
Here is a explanation on for
https://secure.php.net/manual/pt_BR/control-structures.for.php
Solution
The as on the for make me think your trying to use the foreach.
And here is how it works:
foreach( $times as $time) the $time is already a single record from the array
So when you do a foreach this is how it should look:
foreach ( $times as $time){
$new_time = new TimeParameter();
$new_time->id_parameter = $parameters->id;
$new_time->time = $time->time;
$new_time->hour = $time->hour;
$new_time->save();
}
