php - Laravel inject data in input before store -

in store function in controller have:

public function store()     {         $validator = validator::make($data = input::all(), item::$rules);          if ($validator->fails())         {             return redirect::back()->witherrors($validator)->withinput();         }          item::create($data);          return redirect::route('spesas.index');     } 

what missing user_id field.

i tought since inserting user auth one, not pass id via post, retrieve auth::user() in controller (it seemed more secure).

now have problem insert auth::user() id in input fields before item::create($data);

am doing right thing? suggestions?

thanks,

just add user id $data array doing:

$data['user_id'] = auth::user()->id; 

simple that. :-)

alternatively, have hidden input field named 'user_id' , add authorised users id fields value. you.
