Laravel update only refreshes a page - php

Question

My update page isn't working, when I'm submitting a form it only refreshes a page and adds some stuff to my URL, for example: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/employees/102/edit?_method=PUT&_token=mj3lrHqoYm1wiLwWiNQ8OX0kNRjmW4QVRuLpgZxY&image_path=&name=Libbie+Ebert&phone_number=380324244497&email=brekke.lola%40example.org&position_id=7&payment=186799&head=Asia+Frami&recruitment_date=2022-01-10. I already cleared route cache and its still not working, and also tried to use dd function but it's not showing up. What can be wrong? My model:
class Employee extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $casts = [
'recruitment_date' => 'datetime:d-m-y',
];
protected $fillable= ['name', 'position_id', 'phone_number',
'recruitment_date', 'email', 'head',
'image_path', 'payment', 'admin_created_id', 'admin_updated_id'];
public function position()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Position::class, 'position_id');
}
}
Controller function:
public function update(StoreEmployeeRequest $request, $id){
$input = $request->validated();
$employee = Employee::findOrFail($id);
$employee->update([
'name' => $request->input('name'),
'position_id' => $request->input('position_id'),
'phone_number' => '+' . $request->input('phone_number'),
'recruitment_date' => $request->input('recruitment_date'),
'email' => $request->input('email'),
'head' => $request->input('head'),
'image_path' => $input['image_path'],
'payment' => number_format($request->input('payment')),
'admin_updated_id' => auth()->id(),
]);
return to_route('admin.employees.index');
}
Request:
public function rules()
{
return [
'name' => 'required|min:2|max:255',
'recruitment_date' => 'required|date',
'phone_number' => 'required',
'email' => 'required|email',
'payment' => 'required|numeric',
'position_id' => 'required',
'image_path' => 'image|mimes:jpg,png|max:5000|dimensions:min_width=300,min_height=300'
];
}

Route:
Route::put('/admin/employees/{id}/edit', [EmployeeController::class, 'update'])->name('admin.employees.update');

Answer 1

You are missing the method attribute in your form, and the default one is GET. Adding #method('PUT') is not enough.
Change your code like this:
<form
action="{{ route('admin.employees.update', ['id' => $employee->id]) }}"
method="POST"
enctype="multipart/form-data">

Answer 2

i think you should you POST method while submitting the form.
