I'm trying to implement checkbox and laravel collective in my form but I get only single value in form, any ideas how to fix it

{!! Form::open(array('action'=>'UserController@updateInfo','method'=>'post')) !!}
 Workdays:
<br>
{!! Form::label('monday', 'Monday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'monday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('tuesday', 'Tuesday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'tuesday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('wednesday', 'Wednesday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'wednesday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('thursday', 'Thursday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'thursday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('friday', 'Friday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'friday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('saturday', 'Saturday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'saturday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::label('sunday', 'Sunday') !!}
{!! Form::checkbox('workday', 'sunday') !!}
<br>
{!! Form::submit('Save', $attributes = ['class'=>'button']) !!}
{!! Form::close() !!}

when I print my request i only get single output (eg. selected monday friday I get only friday when request is processed)

also labels not working - ideas on that too?

You're using the same name (workday) for all your checkboxes. That's why it's only showing the last checkbox with that name

Just change all names to workday[] instead.

{!! Form::checkbox('workday[]', 'monday') !!}

This will return all selected checkbox in an array.
