Array to string conversion in JSON input Laravel - php

Question

I'm trying to input some JSON data in a table between Laravel, but i'm receiving the Array to string Conersion.
This is my JSON:
{
"data": [
{
"client_id": "3",
"vehicle_id": "3",
"cart1_id": "3",
"cart2_id": "3",
"driver1_id": "3",
"driver2_id": "3",
"shipper_id": "3",
"transportationtype_id": "1",
"startdatetime": "2018-10-10 11:00:00",
"enddatetime": "2018-10-10 18:00:00",
"consultnumber": "3",
"consultvalidity": "2018-10-20",
"escorted": "1",
"escortcompany": "Teste",
"escortplate": "ABC-1234",
"escorttrackingtecnology": "1",
"escorttrackingserial": "123",
"contactname": "José",
"contacttel": "17-997157517",
"decoy": "0",
"decoytrackingtecnology": "1",
"decoyserial": "9999",
"decoysite": "www",
"decoylogin": "123",
"decoypassword": "bacd",
"charged": "1",
"charge": [
{
"description": "Teste Carga 1",
"nf": "1234",
"amount": "1000.00"
},
{
"description": "Teste Carga 2",
"nf": "4321",
"amount": "2000.00"
}
]
}
]
}
And this is my Controller:
public function storeapi(Request $request)
{
$array = $request->all();
$insertedIds = [];
foreach ($array['data'] as $row) {
$validator = Validator::make($array['data'], [
$row['vehicle_id'] => 'required',
$row['driver1_id'] => 'required',
]);
if($validator->fails()) {
return response()->json([
'message' => 'Validation Failed',
'errors' => $validator->errors()->all()
], 422);
}
$newSm = Sm::create([
'client_id' => $row['client_id'],
'veiculo_id' => $row['vehicle_id'],
'carreta1_id' => $row['cart1_id'],
'carreta2_id' => $row['cart2_id'],
'motorista1_id' => $row['driver1_id'],
'motorista2_id' => $row['driver2_id'],
'embarcador_id' => $row['shipper_id'],
'tipotransporte_id' => $row['transportationtype_id'],
'inicioprevisao' => $row['startdatetime'],
'fimprevisao' => $row['enddatetime'],
'nroliberacao' => $row['consultnumber'],
'datavigencia' => $row['consultvalidity'],
'escolta' => $row['escorted'],
'empresa' => $row['escortcompany'],
'placaescolta' => $row['escortplate'],
'tecnologia_id' => $row['escorttrackingtecnology'],
'serial' => $row['escorttrackingserial'],
'nomecontato' => $row['contactname'],
'telefonecontato' => $row['contacttel'],
'isca' => $row['decoy'],
'tecnologiaisca_id' => $row['decoytrackingtecnology'],
'serialisca' => $row['decoyserial'],
'siteisca' => $row['decoysite'],
'login' => $row['decoylogin'],
'senha' => $row['decoypassword'],
'status_id' => "1"
]);
$insertedIds[] = $newSm->id;
foreach ($row['charge'] as $key => $charge){
$carga = new Carga();
$carga->descricao = $charge['description'];
$carga->nf = $charge['nf'];
$carga->valor = $charge['amount'];
$carga->sm_id = $insertedIds;
$carga->save();
}
return response()->json($insertedIds, 201);
}
}
And this is the returned error:
Illuminate \ Database \ QueryException
Array to string conversion (SQL: insert into cargas (descricao, nf, valor, sm_id, updated_at, created_at) values (Teste Carga 1, 1234, 1000.00, 89, 2018-10-11 16:55:57, 2018-10-11 16:55:57))

Answer 1

You have $carga->sm_id = $insertedIds; which is writing an array to the database. You cannot do this. Either store a single sm_id, or serialize the array using serialize($carga->sm_id), or normalize your database if you need multiple IDs for this row, and create a second table and use a foreign key.
EDIT:
Checking your code, you probably want this instead:
$carga->sm_id = $newSm->id;
$carga->save();
...

Answer 2

Use this:
$insertedIds[] = $newSm->id;
foreach ($row['charge'] as $key => $charge){
$carga = new Carga();
$carga->descricao = $charge['description'];
$carga->nf = $charge['nf'];
$carga->valor = $charge['amount'];
$carga->sm_id = $newSm->id;
$carga->save();
}
as $newSm->id is initializing in array $insertedIds[] and $carga->sm_id in database table Cargas may be of type integer or string
