Laravel change input value
You can use Input::merge()
to replace single items.
Input::merge(['inputname' => 'new value']);
Or use Input::replace()
to replace the entire input array.
Input::replace(['inputname' => 'new value']);
Here's a link to the documentation
If you're looking to do this in Laravel 5, you can use the merge()
method from the Request
class:
class SomeController extends Controller{ public function someAction( Request $request ) { // Split a bunch of email addresses // submitted from a textarea form input // into an array, and replace the input email // with this array, instead of the original string. if ( !empty( $request->input( 'emails' ) ) ) { $emails = $request->input( 'emails' ); $emails = preg_replace( '/\s+/m', ',', $emails ); $emails = explode( ',', $emails ); // THIS IS KEY! // Replacing the old input string with // with an array of emails. $request->merge( array( 'emails' => $emails ) ); } // Some default validation rules. $rules = array(); // Create validator object. $validator = Validator::make( $request->all(), $rules ); // Validation rules for each email in the array. $validator->each( 'emails', ['required', 'email', 'min: 6', 'max: 254'] ); if ( $validator->fails() ) { return back()->withErrors($validator)->withInput(); } else { // Input validated successfully, proceed further. } }}
