Laravel - 在数据库中存储多个复选框表单值

Question

So I've got this code

View:

<div id="checkboxes">
                         <input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="services" value="{{ $service->id }}" id="{{ $service->id }}" />
                         <label class="whatever" for="{{ $service->id }}"><p class="serv-text"> {{ $service->service_name }} + ${{ $service->price }} </p></label>
                             </div>

Controller:

  public function store(Request $request)
    {
       orders::create(Request::all());
        return 'test';
    }

Model:

class orders extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = [
    'category', 
    'services',
    'total_price',
    'user_id',
    'status',
    'user_id'];
}

When I try to submit the form, in the database at services there is only one number even if I checked multiple boxes when I submitted the form. I've tried to find on google a solution but nothing.

</div>

If you have multiple checkboxes like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="services" value="1"/>
<input type="checkbox" name="services" value="2"/>
<input type="checkbox" name="services" value="3"/>

It will send's only one value to server, cause name must be unique. Workaround is to use array inputs:

<input type="checkbox" name="services[]" value="1"/>
<input type="checkbox" name="services[]" value="2"/>
<input type="checkbox" name="services[]" value="3"/>

Then you can grab that input in controller and do something like this:

$services = $request->input('services');
foreach($services as $service){
 orders::create($service);
}
