accept and decline button in one form - php

Question

i've been stuck here i hours and now i don't know what to do. i have 2 buttons. Accept and Decline. i want to change a foreign key value whenever i clicked those.
this is in my blade
<table class="col-5 table table-bordered ml-3 mr-3">
<tbody>
<thead class="thead-dark">
<tr>
<th colspan="2">RENT REQUEST CARD</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td><p class="text-muted"><small>Borrower's Name:</small></p></td>
<td><h6>{{ $borrower_request->borrowers_name }}</h6></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p class="text-muted"><small>Email:</small></p></td>
<td><h6>{{ $borrower_request->email }}</h6></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p class="text-muted"><small>Contact number:</small></p></td>
<td><h6>{{ $borrower_request->contact_number }}</h6></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p class="text-muted"><small>Date of Return:</small></p></td>
<td><h6>{{ $borrower_request->return_date }}</h6></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p class="text-muted"><small>Request Status:</small></p></td>
<td>
<h5 class="text-danger"><em>{{ $borrower_request->requestStatus->request_status }}</em></h5>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="text-right">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Accept</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger">Decline</buttonz>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
i want to change the value of the Request Status. should i put the form on the request status only or in the whole table?
and then here's in mu controller
public function getRequestsId(Request $request, $id)
{
$borrowersrequest = BorrowerRequest::find($id);
$requeststatus = RequestStatus::all();
return view('/borrowsmanager');
}
public function changeStatus(Request $request, $id)
{
$borrowersrequest = BorrowerRequest::find($id);
$borrowersrequest->request_status_id = 2;
$borrowersrequest->save();
return redirect('/borrowsmanager');
}
and then i am thinking how can i make the accept buttons throw value="2" and decline button value="3" if they are on the same form? should split then in 2 different function or maybe in 1? :(

Answer 1

Change your buttons to input
<input type="submit" name="accept" class="btn btn-primary" value="Accept" />
<input type="submit" name="decline" class="btn btn-danger" value="Decline" />
Next in $request check for existence of accept or decline property:
// Something like
$borrowersrequest->request_status_id = isset($request->accept) ? 2 : 3;
$borrowersrequest->save();
If you submit form via ajax - input type="submit" will not be passed to server. You'll have to change your js-script (if any) and pass some flag according to pressed button.
