How to pass array inside an api in Laravel? - arrays

Question

When I pass array() through query it got false but when I pass without array then it show success. How can I pass array according to my code?
public function add_employee_post(Request $request){
try{
$http = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$employee_no = $request->employee_no;
$name = $request->name;
$nid = $request->nid;
$dob = $request->dob;
$covid_status = $request->covid_status;
$vaccine_certificate = $request->vaccine_certificate;
$official_email = $request->official_email;
$optional_email = array();
if($request->optional_email[0] != null){
foreach (json_decode($request->optional_email[0]) as $key => $email) {
array_push($optional_email, $email->value);
}
}
$official_phone = $request->official_phone;
$optional_phone = array();
if($request->optional_phone[0] != null){
foreach (json_decode($request->optional_phone[0]) as $key => $phone) {
array_push($optional_phone, $phone->value);
}
}
$designation = $request->designation;
$employee_type = $request->employee_type;
$role = $request->role;
$department = $request->department;
$team = $request->team;
$grade = $request->grade;
$level = $request->level;
$avatar = $request->avatar;
$present_address = $request->present_address;
$permanent_address = $request->permanent_address;
$employee_status = $request->employee_status;
$employee_invitation_status = $request->employee_invitation_status;
$response = $http->post('http://localhost:8000/api/v1/employees/create',[
// 'headers' => [
// 'Authorization' => 'Bearer'.session()->get('token.access_token'),
// ],
'query' =>[
'employee_no' => $employee_no,
'name' => $name,
'nid' => $nid,
'dob' => $dob,
'covid_status' => $covid_status,
'vaccine_certificate' => $vaccine_certificate,
'official_email' => $official_email,
'optional_email' => $optional_email,
'official_phone' => $official_phone,
'optional_phone' => $optional_phone,
'designation' => $designation,
'employee_type' => $employee_type,
'role' => $role,
'department' => $department,
'team' => $team,
'grade' => $grade,
'level' => $level,
'avatar' => $avatar,
'present_address' => $present_address,
'permanent_address' => $permanent_address,
'employee_status' => $employee_status,
'employee_invitation_status' => $employee_invitation_status,
]
]);
$result = json_decode((string) $response->getBody(), true);
return $result;
}
catch(\Throwable $e){
return response()->json([
'result' => false,
'message' => 'Something Error!'
]);
}
}
In same code when I comment out $optional_phone and $optional_email , it show success response but when I pass all then it show false result. How I pass an array inside query?
