I am trying to split the arrays and name them or group them individually. When the form is submitted, all the inputs are in array. For example, <input type="text" name="fname[]" and so on. When I get the input in the controller they are group by fname 1 to 4. So, I wanted to split each of the first object in the array. Please find the code below of what I am getting now and my desire output I want:-

I have created a form where I am collecting the data and sending it to the controller.

// Family Members form
//this family form will add 3 more times as the total member in this fmaily are 4 who are still living
@for($i=1;$i<= $totalMembs;$i++) 
<input type="hidden" name="id[]" value="{{$i}}" >
<input type="text" name="fname[]" value="" >
<input type="text" name="lname[]" value="" >
<input type="date" name="dob[]" value="" >
<input type="radio" name="gender[{{$i}}]" id="genderM" value="male" >
<input type="radio" name="gender[{{$i}}]" id="genderF" value="female">
 <select name="nationality[]" id="nationality{{$i}}">
    <option value="">Please select</option>
    <option value="India">Indian</option>
    <option value="USA">USA</option>
    <option value="UK">UK</option>
    <option value="AUS">AUS</option>
 </select>
 <input type="text" name="birthPlace[]" value="">
 <select name="state[]" id="state{{$i}}">
    <option value="">Please select</option>
    <option value="MH">Maharashtra</option>
    <option value="GJ">Gujrat</option>
    <option value="DL">Delhi</option>
    <option value="MP">Madya Pradesh</option>
 </select>
 <select name="device[]" id="device{{$i}}">
    <option value="">Please select</option>
    <option value="Mobile">Mobile</option>
    <option value="Landline">Landline</option> 
 </select>
 <input type="text" name="countryCallingCode[]" value="+91">
 <input type="text" name="telnumber[]" value="">
 <input type="email" name="email[]" value="">
 @endfor

When I do dd($request->all();, I get everything in the group of firstname:

"fname" => array:4 [▶]
"sname" => array:4 [▶]

The following is the output I am getting in JSON:

"_token": "8p8hu86Oi4FMZnak0si3wK629dDejyB07abxJIpJ",
"fname": [
"Kunal",
"Manisha",
"Vinay",

],

"sname": [

"Parekh"

"contactEmail": [

"[email protected]",
"[email protected]"

"2": "female",
"3": "male",
"4": "male"
},


"nationality": [

}

And the output I want is:

            }
            
        },
        
    },
    {

        },
        "currentplace": {
            "nationality":  "INDIAN"  ,
            "birthPlace":    "Mumbai" ,
        },
        "contact": {

                "number": "980080073"
             }
                "emailAddress": "[email protected]"  
            }
            
        },
 
    ]

Please let me know how to group the array as shown in the output above.

Something like this, each object should have the same key in the fname array

@foreach(range(1, $totalMembs) as $member)
  <input type="text" name="fname[{{ $member }}][id]">
  <input type="date" name="fname[{{ $member }}][dateOfBirth]">
  <input type="text" name="fname[{{ $member }}][gender]">
  <input type="text" name="fname[{{ $member }}][name][firstName]">
  <input type="text" name="fname[{{ $member }}][name][lastName]">
  <input type="text" name="fname[{{ $member }}][currentplace][nationality]">
  <input type="text" name="fname[{{ $member }}][currentplace][birthPlace]">
  <input type="text" name="fname[{{ $member }}][contact][state]">
  <input type="text" name="fname[{{ $member }}][contact][phones][deviceType]">
  <input type="text" name="fname[{{ $member }}][contact][phones][countryCallingCode]">
  <input type="text" name="fname[{{ $member }}][contact][phones][number]">
  <input type="text" name="fname[{{ $member }}][contact][emailAddress]">
@endforeach

I think you’re looking for something that matches your expected output:

$arr = $request->all();

$results = [];

for ($i=0; $i < count($arr["fname"]); $i++) {

    $results["family"][] = [
        "id" => $i + 1,
        "dateOfBirth" => $arr["dateofBirth"][$i],
        "gender" => $arr["genderType"][$i + 1],
        "name" => [
            "firstName" => $arr["fname"][$i],
            "lastName" => $arr["sname"][$i]
        ],
        "currentplace" => [
            "nationality" => $arr["nationality"][$i],
            "birthPlace" => $arr["birthPlace"][$i]
        ],
        "contact" => [
            "state" => "MH",
            "phones" => [
                "deviceType" => "MOBILE",
                "countryCallingCode" => $arr["contactTelCode"][$i],
                "number" => $arr["phone"][$i],
            ],
            "emailAddress" => $arr["contactEmail"][$i]
        ]
    ];
}
 
return $results;
