Question

Below code works adding single single entry i want to store multiple parent_id and user_id
public function test($p_id, $pl_id)
{
$CheckRelationship = UsersRelationship::where('parent_user_id', $p_id )->where('child_user_id', $pl_id )->first();
if( $CheckRelationship )
{
return Response::json( [
'ok'=> false,
'message'=> 'The profiles are currently linked '
] ,422);
}
$user = User::find( $pl_id );
$user->p_id = $p_id;
$user->updated_by = $p_id;
//$user->status = 1;
$user->save();
$UsersRelationship = new UsersRelationship;
$UsersRelationship->parent_user_id = $parent_id;
$UsersRelationship->child_user_id = $player_id;
$UsersRelationship->save();
return Response::json( [
'ok'=> true,
'message'=> 'Linked',
] ,200);

$UsersRelationship = new UsersRelationship;
$UsersRelationship->parent_user_id = $parent_id; //single value passing
$UsersRelationship->child_user_id = $player_id; //single value passing
$UsersRelationship->save();
foreach($UsersRelationship as $k=>$values){
$UsersRelationship['parent_user_id'] = $values;
$UsersRelationship['child_user_id'] = $values;
$UsersRelationship->save();
}
doesn't work for me please suggest where i am mistaking early reply highly appreciated thanks in advance

Parameters in URLs will work only for a singular user relationship. If you wish to pass multiple relationships, JSON is your friend.
JSON Sample:
[
{
'parent_user_id': 1,
'child_user_id': 2,
},
{
'parent_user_id': 2,
'child_user_id': 2,
}
]
PHP controller function:
public function test(\Illuminate\Http\Request $request) {
//Pass your information through a GET parameter or POST it through a form
// 'user_relationship' is the name of the field, expecting data in JSON format
$user_relationships = json_decode($request->get('user_relationship'));
//array to store all relationships that were not linked
$relationshipsNotLinked= [];
//Loop through each relationship, attach where possible
foreach($user_relationships as $user_relationship_row) {
$CheckRelationship = UsersRelationship::where('parent_user_id', $user_relationship_row['parent_user_id'] )->where('child_user_id', $user_relationship_row['child_user_id'] )->first();
//If exists, we don't save.
if( $CheckRelationship ) {
$relationshipsNotLinked[] = $user_relationship_row['child_user_id'];
} else {
//Else we link relationship
//Not sure what the links below does..
//users cannot have `p_id` attribute, given that they may have multiple parents. Same goes for 'updated_by' attribute
$user = User::find( $user_relationship_row['parent_user_id'] );
$user->updated_by = $user_relationship_row['parent_user_id'];
//$user->status = 1;
$user->save();
//Save relationship
$UsersRelationship = new UsersRelationship();
$UsersRelationship->parent_user_id = $user_relationship_row['parent_user_id'];
$UsersRelationship->child_user_id = $user_relationship_row['child_user_id'];
$UsersRelationship->save();
}
}
if(count($relationshipsNotlinked)) {
//Some relationships were not linked, we display an error message
return Response::json( [
'ok'=> false,
'message'=> 'The following profiles are already linked: '.implode(',',relationshipsNotLinked),
] ,422);
} else {
//Display success message
return Response::json( [
'ok'=> true,
'message'=> 'Linked',
] ,200);
}
}
