how to get URL value in laravel? - php

Question

So, i tried laravel and i got stuck when i want to get URL value as a value for my database. Here is the code in my controller.
public function store(Request $request, $shoe_id)
{
//Insert Data
$cart = new Cart;
$cart->user_id = Auth::user()->id;
$cart->shoe_id = $shoe_id;
$cart->quantity = $request->quan;
$cart->save();
return redirect()->back();
}
and here is the problem i've encountered:
it says that the {shoe_id} is string where i wanted to be an integer from the URL
Here what my website looks like:
My blade
Here is my web.php:
Route::get('/','homeController#main')->name('home');
Route::get('/home','homeController#main')->name('home');
Route::get('/detail/{shoe_id}', 'homeController#detail');
Route::get('/cart/{shoe_id}','CartController#show');
Route::post('/cart/{shoe_id}','CartController#store');
Here is my blade:
#extends('layouts.app')
#section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="card">
<div style="text-align:center;">
<img src="{{ asset("$cart->shoe_image") }}" alt="" style=" width:350px; height:350px;">
<div class="card-header">{{$cart->shoe_name}}</div>
<div class="card-header">${{$cart->shoe_price}}</div>
<div class="card-header">{{$cart->shoe_description}}</div>
</div>
<div class="card-header form-group">
<form method="POST" action="/cart/{shoe_id}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
#csrf
<div class="form-row">
<div class="col-md-2">
<label for="quantity">Quantity:</label>
</div>
<div>
<input class = "form-control" type="text" id="quantity" name="quan"><br><br>
</div>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" name="addcart">Add to Cart</button>
</div>
</form>
{{-- <a class="btn btn-primary" href="#">Add to Cart</a> --}}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
#endsection
what i want to do: input the inputted data to database. My database has table called cart with attribute of id, user_id, shoe_id.

Answer 1

In your form action you should provide the actual value for the shoe_id then it will work as expected. action="/cart/{{ $cart->shoe_id }}"
#extends('layouts.app')
#section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="card">
<div style="text-align:center;">
<img src="{{ asset("$cart->shoe_image") }}" alt="" style=" width:350px; height:350px;">
<div class="card-header">{{$cart->shoe_name}}</div>
<div class="card-header">${{$cart->shoe_price}}</div>
<div class="card-header">{{$cart->shoe_description}}</div>
</div>
<div class="card-header form-group">
<form method="POST" action="/cart/{{ $cart->shoe_id }}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
#csrf
<div class="form-row">
<div class="col-md-2">
<label for="quantity">Quantity:</label>
</div>
<div>
<input class = "form-control" type="text" id="quantity" name="quan"><br><br>
</div>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" name="addcart">Add to Cart</button>
</div>
</form>
{{-- <a class="btn btn-primary" href="#">Add to Cart</a> --}}
</div>
</div>
</div>
