title: Laravel - Form Input - Multiple select for a one to many relationship
body: <p>One of the requirements in an application that I am building is for a form input which takes in a varying number of items for a single field. For instance, sports that I play are ('Soccer','Tennis','Croquet').</p>
  <p>There are a finite number of sports one can play (arguably), so these items should be selected from a &quot;drop down&quot; type list in the form input.</p>
  <p>Downstream of this form will be two tables which have a one-to-many relationship. So from the above, the &quot;user&quot; table would have a single row, while the &quot;user_sports&quot; table would have three rows. These would then be linked by the id field in the user table.</p>
  <hr />
  <p>I have not been able to find the sort of functionality where this can be achieved in the documentation (perhaps I am not searching for the correct thing). Below was the closest that I found, but is only for selecting a single item from a drop down list.</p>
  <p><a href="http://laravel.com/docs/html#drop-down-lists" rel="noreferrer">http://laravel.com/docs/html#drop-down-lists</a></p>
  <hr />
  <p>Is there a workaround out there that will enable me to get this form element up and running using the Laravel framework?</p>
  <p>Alternatively, are there other ways that this sort of functionality can be achieved, without damaging the user experience?</p>
