    <p>I've got this input form: (Using the blade template engine with Laravel, but the html should be easy to understand from this and ultimately trivial)</p> <pre><code>{{ Form::text('amount[]', Input::old('amount')) }} &lt;?php echo Form::select('unit[]', array( 'whole' =&gt; _('whole'), 'ml' =&gt; _('milliliter'), 'l' =&gt; _('liter'), 'dl' =&gt; _('deciliter'), 'mg' =&gt; _('milligram'), 'g' =&gt; _('gram'), 'kg' =&gt; _('kilogram'), 'tsp' =&gt; _('teaspoon'), 'tbs' =&gt; _('tablespoon'), )) ?&gt; {{ Form::text('ingredient[]', Input::old('ingredient')) }} </code></pre> <p>I'm trying to format this to my database to return it in a string like this :</p> <pre><code>&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt; liter red wine&lt;/li&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'm considering making it a simpler form and eliminating the unit measurement forcing my users to type it in instead for flexibility, but I'll still have to cramp it all into one table for my database. The span tag is used in a jQuery to dynamically increase the number so is needed. I've been at this for quite a few days on and off but I can't crack how to do this. </p> <p>Here is my formatting logic:</p> <pre><code>$amount = Input::get('amount[]'); $unit = Input::get('unit[]'); $ingredient = Input::get('ingredient[]'); for ( $i = 0, $c = count(Input::get('ingredient[]')); $i &lt; $c; $i++ ) { $ingredients .= '&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;'.$amount[$i].'&lt;/span&gt;'.$unit[$i].' '.$ingredient[$i].'&lt;/li&gt;'; } </code></pre> <p>and I send it using</p> <pre><code>$new = Recipe::create(array( 'title' =&gt; Input::get('title'), 'curiousity' =&gt; Input::get('curiousity'), 'ingredients' =&gt; $ingredients, 'steps' =&gt; Input::get('recipe') )); </code></pre> <p>I've tried numerous ways and I get errors like the $ingredients array not being defined or not being able to use [] in the variable. I tried defining the variable as an '$ingredients = '';' variable but that just produced an empty string. My problem must be in the logic.</p>

    1. COI'm going to go in a different direction, I'll make a new database linked by recipe ID with one column per field. It'll make my ingredients tags. Thanks all the same, guys! I'll leave this question here in case someone has a similar problem.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
