Laravel: returning null from input::get()

Question

I need a dynamic form, which is created depending on database entries. To input the data into the database, this also needs to be dynamic. For some reason I am getting null in the value of my form.

My form loop

@foreach ($keyAccounts as $keyAccount)
        {{ Form::label($keyAccount->name, $keyAccount->name.':', array('class' => '')) }}
        {{ Form::text($keyAccount->name)}}<br />
    @endforeach

which returns

<label for="hsbc dad" class="">hsbc dad:</label>
        <input name="hsbc dad" type="text" id="hsbc dad"><br />
                <label for="sdsad" class="">sdsad:</label>
        <input name="sdsad" type="text" id="sdsad"><br />
                <label for="dfffff" class="">dfffff:</label>
        <input name="dfffff" type="text" id="dfffff"><br />

When my form is submitted it calls on the actions controller and runs the following code

foreach($keyAccounts as $keyAccount){
        $assignedAccount = new AssignedAccount;
        $assignedAccount->contribution_id = $last_con_id->contribution_id;
        $assignedAccount->key_account_id = $keyAccount->key_account_id; 
        $assignedAccount->year_to_date = Input::get($keyAccount->name);
        $assignedAccount->save();
    }

I am getting the year_to_date variable is null in an SQL error, even though the data is filled out.

here is my var_dump of the Input::get()

NULL string(1) "3" string(1) "3"

I don;t know why but the first entry is null. There is a total of three entries in the database, and no name variable is null

Automated conversion to underscores where the space character is present. Remove the space character or convert to underscore. Try Input::get('hsbc_dad')
