How To Solve This Check Database Value / Variable Availability In Laravel - php

Question

I am creating a Ticket Reservation System and I want to check data availability from the Database. As usual, I used HTML form and when someone tries to insert data which is already in the database , I want to show them a message as "Data Already Have". And If data is unique , I want to insert into the database. But , when I click Submit button, nothing happens. ( Seat Number = Items )
In the console of the browser shows these errors -
POST http://localhost/FinalProject/public/seatprocess 500 (Internal
Server Error) XHR failed loading: POST
"http://localhost/FinalProject/public/seatprocess"
In Network tab -> Response shows like this -
{
"message": "Object of class Illuminate\\Database\\Query\\Builder could not be converted to string",
"exception": "ErrorException",
"file": "D:\\wamp64\\www\\FinalProject\\app\\Http\\Controllers\\SeatsController.php",
"line": 42,
"trace": [
{
"file": "D:\\wamp64\\www\\FinalProject\\app\\Http\\Controllers\\SeatsController.php",
"line": 42,
"function": "handleError",
"class": "Illuminate\\Foundation\\Bootstrap\\HandleExceptions",
"type": "->"
},
And this is continuesly going. May be my seatprocess function is wrong. But , I have no idea how to Fix it.

Here is my Seats.blade.php
<form class="form-horizontal" id="form1" method="POST" action="{{ route('seatsinsert') }}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="dt"> <br>
<h4> <span id="success_message" class="text-success"></span> </h4>
<div class="form-group row">

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('#btnShowNew').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var items = [];
$.each($('#place li.' + settings.selectingSeatCss + ' a'), function (index, value) {

});
console.log(items);
// $(location).attr('href', 'Seats');
$.ajax({
url:'{{ route('seatprocess') }}',
type:"POST",
data:{

date: $('input[name=date]').val(),
st: $('select[name=st]').val()},
success:function(data)
{
if(data !== '0')
{
$('#availability').html('<span class="text-danger">Seats not available</span>');
$('#btnShowNew').attr("disabled", true);
}
else
{
//$('#availability').html('<span class="text-success">Seats Available</span>');
$.ajax({

Here is my SeatsController.php
public function seatsinsert(Request $request)
{
$date = $request->input('date');
$st = $request->input('st');
$items = $request->input('items');
$items = str_replace(['[', ']', '"'], '', $items);
$user = new Seats();
$user->date = $date;
$user->st = $st;
$user->item = $items;
$user->save();
}
public function seatprocess(Request $request)
{
//dd($request->all());
$items = $request->input('items');
$results = DB::table('seats')->where('item',$items);
echo $results;
}
}
Here are my Routes.
Route::post('seatsinsert',[
'uses'=> 'SeatsController#seatsinsert',
'as' => 'seatsinsert'
]);
Route::post('seatprocess',[
'uses'=> 'SeatsController#seatprocess',
'as' => 'seatprocess'
]);

Answer 1

You need to retrieve data in your response function with get like this before echo the $result variable.
This is the reason behind error in your console.
you have to change the line like this:
$results = DB::table('seats')->where('item',$items)->get();
