populate array from database inside foreach loop and fetch it later - php

Question

I want to populate an array with ids that are fetched from db table. Later I want to fetch those ids from the array to insert into another db table. Below is the code:
public function storeBaritems()
{
$id = Auth::user()->id;
$bartypearray = array();
$bartypes = request('select1'); // <select id="select1" name="select1[]"
foreach ($bartypes as $type) {
$bartypearray[] = Bartype::select('bartype_id')
->where('bar_type_name','like',$type)
->where('restaurant_id', $id)
->get();
}
$baritems = request('itemname'); //<input type="text" class="hookah-field" name="itemname[]">
$descriptions = request('description'); //<input type="text" class="hookah-field" name="description[]">
$quantity = request('quantity'); //<input type="text" class="hookah-field" name="quantity[]">
$prices = request('price'); //<input type="text" class="hookah-field" name="price[]">
$i = 0;
foreach ($bartypearray as $item) {
Bar_menu::create([
'item_name'=>$baritems[$i],
'description'=>$descriptions[$i],
'quantity'=>$quantity[$i],
'price'=>$prices[$i],
'res_id'=>$id,
'type_id'=>$item->bartype_id
]);
$i += 1;
}
}
The HTML form dynamically creates new fields with same "name" attribute. Right now, I am getting the error - "Exception in Collection.php line 1527:
Property [bartype_id] does not exist on this collection instance." Any solution would help. Thanks

You could use the pluck method.
$bartypearray = Bartype::where('bar_type_name','like',$type)
->where('restaurant_id', $id)
->pluck('bartype_id');
With this method there is no need for the first foreach.
BTW. I would highly recommend to loo into all collection methods
