Why I am getting wrong URI? - php

Question

I am currently on
http://127.0.0.1:8000/cars/
I have a link that has to route me to
http://127.0.0.1:8000/cars/create
I used this in my code
<a
href="cars/create"
</a>
In my web.php I have following route
Route::get('cars/create',function ()
{
return view('carsops.create');
});
When I click on link I am redirected to
http://127.0.0.1:8000/cars/cars/create
Instead of
http://127.0.0.1:8000/cars/create
What is the error why I am getting this extra /cars.
Can some one help me.

Answer 1

You have to put a / in front of the link:
<a
href="/cars/create"
</a>
This means Go to the site root, then got to cars path then go to the create path.

Answer 2

This is solution is not nice. Why? Ok, you should use route names in the your application.
How to solve this problem correctly?
A first step is set name to your route. Modify routes/web.php like to
Route::get('cars/create',function ()
{
return view('carsops.create');
})->name('carsops.create');
Look at the name. Name can be as you wish.
Step 2 is, calling your route in the blade like to
<a
href="{{ route('carsops.create') }}"
</a>
Well done.

Answer 3

Laravel a href links are made by giving name,
if you want a return view without variables you don't need to get a method
Route::view('cars/create','carsops.create')->name('yournamelink');
use in blade page
goto page

Answer 4

A root-relative URL starts allway with a / character, to look something like create car.
The link you posted: create car is linking to an folder located in a directory named create in the cars, the directory cars being in the same directory as the html page in which this link appears.
It is therefore easier to work with Laravel Helper. As already mentioned here.
<a href="{{ route('car.create') }}"</a>
You define the route names in your web.php and for api links in your api.php file.
Route::get('/create-car', [App\Http\Controllers\PageController::class, 'create'])->name('car.create');
