Taking data from the checkbox and sending it to the bank

Question

I am creating a form and need to send to the bank the selected checkbox. I have the table conta, conta_categoria and categoria. In the conta_categoria have the id_conta and the id_categoria.

How would I send all the data from checkbox selected to the table conta_categoria?

My form create.Lade

<div class="form-group">
    {!! Form::label('descricao', 'Categoria: ') !!}
    @foreach (Realito\Categoria::all() as $categoria)
        <br>
        {!! Form::checkbox('descricao[]',$categoria->id_categoria) !!}
        {{ $categoria->id    }}
        {{ $categoria->descricao }}
        </br>
    @endforeach
</div>

My account controller where you are entering the data

if($bill->save()){

      $contasCategoria = new \App\ContasCategoria();

      $contasCategoria->id_conta = $ultimoID;

      $contasCategoria->id_categoria = $request->get('categoria[]');
        // $contasCategoria->id_categoria = $codCategoria;
      $conta->contasCategoria()->save($contasCategoria);

}

If you change the checkbox name to Description[], this way:

{!! Form::checkbox('descricao[]',$categoria->id_categoria) !!}

In your controller, you will receive an array with only the selected categories. Kind of $request->get('descricao') = Array([0] => 100, [1] => 103, [2] => 105); In this case you can do a foreach or else create a method to save multiple categories at once.

See if this is the way to save the categories.

$categorias = $request->get('categoria[]');
foreach($categorias as $categoria){
      $contasCategoria = new \App\ContasCategoria();

      $contasCategoria->id_conta = $ultimoID;

      $contasCategoria->id_categoria = $categoria;
      $conta->contasCategoria()->save($contasCategoria);
}
