Create object from array without database table?

Question

I can't seem to find an answer simple enough or similar enough. Maybe it's my search terms?

I want to create an array for a form and assign an id to each entry. That way I don't have to call to the db or store a string that might change in the future. The array/object would only have 3-4 values.

For example:

id: 1 name: 'cancel order'

id: 2 name: 'place hold;

The contents would be used in a foreach loop in a laravel blade.

Am I heading in the right direction, or is there a better way to do this?

Nevermind, I figured that last part out.

Between your answer and mine, I'm good. Thanks!

            <option
               value="{{$changeStatus['id']}}"
                      {{ $changeStatus['name'] == old('changeStatus') ? 'selected' : ''}}>
                      {{ $changeStatus['name'] }}
                       </option>

You'd want this line to use ['id'], not ['name']: {{ $changeStatus['id'] == old('changeStatus') ? 'selected' : ''}}; the value=... will be in old(), not the name.

You mean this?

  $array = [
        "1" => "cancel order",
        "2" => "place hold",
        "3" => "any text"
    ];

How do I reference the id?

ajsmith Over a year ago

Sorry, hit return too soon. @foreach($changeOrderStatus as $changeStatus) <option value="{{$changeStatus->name}}" {{ $changeStatus->name == old('changeStatus') ? 'selected' : ''}}> {{ $changeStatus->name }} </option> @endforeach How do I format this? Argh!

For reference, with the posted code, it would be

@foreach($array as $id => $name)<option value="{{ $id }} {{ old('changeStatus') == $id ? 'selected' : '' }}>{{ $name }}</option>

Difference between an array of nested arrays (or objects) and a single associative array.
