Laravel post route with url parameters
Solution 1
The problem has nothing to do with Laravel
<form url="/request/{{$equipment->url}}" method="POST">
replace url
with action
<form action="/request/{{$equipment->url}}" method="POST">
Solution 2
The HTTP POST verb doesn't accept parameters from the URL like GET, it accepts them from the Body of the HTTP POST. To fetch the post parameters you use the code below:
In routes.php:
Route::post('/request', 'PagesController@request');
and in your PagesController access the form input using one of the input methods such as below
public function request()
{
return Input::get('equipment_url');
}
Solution 3
You can not send get parameters to post route.
But you can achieve that by a simple trick, just pass your value ({{$equipment->url}}) in form's hidden filed or in session.
For Example:
html
<form url="test/{{$equipment->url}}" method="POST">
{{Input::hidden('name-of-field', $equipment->url)
<div class="row">
.......
</div>
</form>
route
Route::post('test/{any-variable}', ['as' => 'test', 'uses' => 'TestController@test']);
controller
public function test()
{
echo "<pre>";
dd(Input::all());
}
result
array(1) {
["name-of-field"]=>
string(5) "your value here"
}

I'm facing a big wall of larval routing and I can't seem to find a solution
I have this form in a view template
<form url="/request/{{$equipment->url}}" method="POST"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-4"> <div class="mt10">Start Date:</div> <input type="date" required name="starting_date" value="" placeholder="From" class="request-input request-date mb10"> </div> <div class="col-sm-4"> <div class="mt10">End Date:</div> <input type="date" required name="ending_date" value="" placeholder="To" class="request-input request-date mb10"> </div> <div class="col-sm-4"> <div class="mt10">Quantity</div> <input type="number" required name="quantity" value="" placeholder="Quantity" class="request-input mb10"> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-4"> <div class="mt10">Voltage</div> <input type="number" required name="voltage" value="" placeholder="Voltage" class="request-input mb10"> </div> <div class="col-sm-4"> <div class="mt10">Param 1</div> <input type="text" required name="param_1" value="" placeholder="Parameter" class="request-input mb10"> </div> <div class="col-sm-4"> <div class="mt10">Param 2</div> <input type="text" required name="param_2" value="" placeholder="Parameter" class="request-input mb10"> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <button class="btn btn-block button-orange">Get quotes now</button> </div> </div> </form>
and this is the corresponding routes
Route::group([ 'middleware' => 'rental'], function(){ Route::get('/my-requests/{readby_url}', 'PagesController@requests'); Route::post('/request/{equipment_url}', 'PagesController@request'); Route::post('/request/create', 'RequestsController@create'); Route::post('/request/accept', 'RequestsController@accept'); });
My issue is with
Route::post('/request/{equipment_url}', 'PagesController@request');
as it seems to not accept url parameters when the method is set to post.i.e it throws the error
MethodNotAllowedHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 201: in RouteCollection.php line 201 at RouteCollection->methodNotAllowed(array('GET', 'HEAD')) in RouteCollection.php line 188 at RouteCollection->getRouteForMethods(object(Request), array('GET', 'HEAD')) in RouteCollection.php line 140 at RouteCollection->match(object(Request)) in Router.php line 746 at Router->findRoute(object(Request)) in Router.php line 655 at Router->dispatchToRoute(object(Request)) in Router.php line 631 at Router->dispatch(object(Request)) in Kernel.php line 237
I want to pass a parameter and post data at the same time.
Is there a way to make this work? I've been told that Route::post handles GET as well but it doesn't seem to work.

Jad Salhani almost 9 yearsThe thing is I want the url to change and show the equipment_url, that's why I'm using route parameters
-
Arlind almost 9 years@JadSalhani then you will have to use GET
-
Septagram almost 8 yearsWhat's the motivation for this? In my case, passing parameter as a part of URL would make things much more convenient :(

rzb about 6 yearsI think this answer is missing the point. Yes, POST doesn't accept QUERY STRING params, but it does accept URI segments, and that's what the routes the OP posted are using.

rzb about 6 yearsI think this answer is missing the point, too. You can not send get parameters (QUERY STRING) with a POST, but the routes the OP posted are using URI segments. Laravel resolves them nicely so I don't see any problem.
