I have two tables:
Calendar, and Photo in relationship one calendar's event to many photos.

I would like to add many photos when creating the event. Currently, I can only have one, on a one-to-one basis.

My code:
Calendar model relation with Photo:

public function photos()

   {

       return $this->hasMany(Photo::class);   

   }

Photo model relation with Calendar:

public function calendar()

   {

       return $this->belongsTo(Calendar::class, 'calendar_id');

   }

it's ok and it works.

Fragment of create.blade.php view:

<div class="card-body">

<form action="{{ action ('CalendarController@store')}}" method="POST"

                              enctype="multipart/form-data">

     <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{csrf_token() }}"/>

<div class="form-group">

     <label for="photo">Photo:</label> <select class="form-control" name="photo"> 

         @foreach($photos as $photo)

             <option value="{{ $photo->id }}">{{ $photo->path }}</option>

         @endforeach

         </select>

</div>

<div class="form-group">

     <label for="header">Header</label> <input type="text" class="form-control" name="header"/></div>

<div class="form-group">

     <label for="description">Description</label><input type="text" class="form-control" name="description"/></div>

<div class="form-group">

     <label for="date">Date</label> <input type="date" class="form-control" name="date"/></div>

     <input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-primary"/>

</form>

</div>

For this moment I have classic select list where can I choose only one option.

Calendar controller code (function create and store):

public function create()

    {

        $photos = Photo::all();

        return view('pages.calendar.create', [

            "photos" => $photos

        ]);

    }



    public function store(Request $request)

    {

        $request->validate([

            'header' => 'required|max:255',

            'description' => 'required',

            'date' => 'required',

        ]);



        $calendar = new Calendar();

        $calendar->header = $request->input('header');

        $calendar->description = $request->input('description');

        $calendar->date = $request->input('date');

        $calendar->save();



        $photo = Photo::find($request->input('photo'));

        if($photo !== null) {

            $photo->calendar_id = $calendar->id;

            $photo->save();

        }

       return redirect()->action('CalendarController@clist');

   }

How can I change this fragment of code to multistore photos:

$photo = Photo::find($request->input('photo'));

if($photo !== null) {

     $photo->calendar_id = $calendar->id;

     $photo->save();

}

I have calendar_id in Photo table (fereign key).
Thanks for any help!

1- Change your select to a multiple input

<input type="file" name="photos" class="form-control">

1- Make a foreach in controller to iterate over every image

if($photos=$request->file('photos')){

    foreach($photos as $image){

        $name = $photo->getClientOriginalName();

        $photo = Photo::where('name',$name)->first();

        if(is_null($photo)) {

            $photo = new Photo();

        }

        $photo->name = $name;

        $photo->calendar_id = $calendar->id;

        $photo->save();

    }

}

3- Maybe you can use some PHP package for images like http://image.intervention.io/
