laravel 5.1 Form :: select add value

Question

I am in trouble.

laravel under 5.0 code

testController.php

$prefs = ['' => 'Please Select'] + Prefectures::lists('name', 'id');
    :
    :

test.blade.php

{{ Form::select('pref', $prefs, null) }}

However, in laravel 5.0 or more, it is an error in this code. the blade file even if the following result was the same.

test.blade.php

{!! Form::select('pref', $prefs, null) !!}

I want to create an array that you added one item to the obtained values from the database.

Answer 1

controller

$prefs = ['' => 'Please Select'] + Prefectures::lists('name', 'id');

view

{!! Form::select('pref', $prefs, null) !!}

double curly bracket will escape. so coming from laravel 4.0 you should change {{ to {!!. I was also confused before when i migrated to 5.0.

this should work fine.

Update This what i usually do in my code.

$prefs = Prefectures::lists('name', 'id');
return view('view', compact('prefs'));


{!! Form::select('pref', ['' => 'Please Select'] + $prefs, null) !!}
