laravel how to validatate dynamically added elements

Question

I have a page that has a drop down list to select an action. this select has a name action_id. The use can have many actions. So, I added a link, when the user clicks it, I generate a new select using javascript and jquery and then add this new select to the DOM. this new select also has a name action_id.

Finally I would have many select(s) with the name action_id

I created this jsfiddle for you to show you what I mean

My question is how to validate each action_id select in my controller when I submit the form?

Many thanks

Usually, I just do this in the controller:

Input::get('action_id');

but this time I have many action_id(s)

Change action_id by action_id[] and you should get an array of action_id's — Babblo, Jul 21 '14 at 22:23
You could likely then just still use `Input::get('action_id')` and it would return an array instead of a single value. Probably quicker to just test it. — Jonathan Kuhn, Jul 21 '14 at 22:28
He means where you assign the name in your select. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4688880/html-element-array-name-something-or-name-something — Lochemage, Jul 21 '14 at 22:29
@AnastasieLaurent Try `Input::get('action_id[]')` as @Babblo wrote. — Oscar Jara, Jul 21 '14 at 22:55
@OscarJara I tried this `echo Input::get('action_id[]');` in the controller and I got nothing, nothing has been printed though I changed the name of the select(s) from `action_id` to `action_id[]` — Anastasie Laurent, Jul 21 '14 at 22:58
and when I tried `dd(Input::get('action_id[]'));` I got `NULL` — Anastasie Laurent, Jul 21 '14 at 23:02
@AnastasieLaurent I don't use lavarel, but after a quick search I think you need something like this: `$actions = Input::get('action_id'); foreach($actions as $action) {...}` — Babblo, Jul 22 '14 at 02:11

$actions = Input::get('action_id');

Where actions should ba an array. From this you can pretty much do whatever you want. The easy way is to do a foreach.

foreach($actions as $action) {
//validate
}
