Laravel Form return old value - php

Question

I'm using I'm using laravel 5.5 and laravel collective to build my forms.
During validation, to manage errors and putting back the old values, I'm using this kind of code:
<div class="#if ($errors->has( $question->title )) has-error #endif">
{!! Form::label($question->title, $question->title) !!}
{!! Form::text($question->title, null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
#if ($errors->has($question->title)) <p class="help-block">{{ $errors->first($question->title) }}</p> #endif
</div>
And everything is working well. But I'm facing a problem where my name attributes contains white spaces.
When the page is displayed my name attributes are well writen with white space by example Are you happy?
But the validation return error mentioning Are_you_happy? so the old values are not putted back and the errors messages are not displayed due to the _.
I was thinking of using regex to "sanitize" the values in my forms but the error message will still be The Are_you_happy? field is required. So not that good.
Is there any tricks or better ways to proceed?
Or is it just a bad practice to have whitespace?
More info
This also happen with the dot character ., it's is replaced by an _ during validation.

Answer 1

It's bad practice to use white space,but it's not an error.
you can work around your problem changing the output of the error messages.
From the documentation
Specifying Custom Attributes In Language Files
If you would like the :attribute portion of your validation message to be replaced with a custom attribute name, you may specify the custom name in the attributes array of your resources/lang/xx/validation.php language file:
'attributes' => [
'email' => 'email address',
],
in your case
'attributes' => [
'Are_you_happy' => 'are you happy',
],
