Laravel - Edit and Update Page - php

Question

I am using Laravel and I am trying to create an edit page and call my update method on submit, the problem is I am getting a 404 when updating. This is my blade file for editing like so:
#extends('adminlte::page')
#section('title', 'AdminLTE')
#section('content_header')
<h1>Professions</h1>
#stop
#section('content')
<form method="PUT" action="/admin/professions-update/{{ $data->pkprofession }}">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="profession_name">Profession Name</label>
<input type="text" name="profession_name" id="profession_name" class="form-control" value="{{$data->profession_name}}" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Update</button>
</div>
</form>
#stop
Here are my routes:
Route::get('/admin/professions-edit/{id}', 'v1\ProfessionsController#edit');
Route::put('/admin/professions-update/{id}', 'v1\ProfessionsController#update');
And Here are the methods being called:
public function edit($id)
{
$data = PdTprofession::find($id);
return view('professions-edit', compact('data'));
}
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$data = PdTprofession::find($id);
return view('professions-edit', compact('data'));
}
Why am I getting a 404 error and how do I fix it?
Thanks,

Answer 1

In laravel docs, HTML forms do not support PUT, PATCH or DELETE
actions. So, when defining PUT, PATCH or DELETE routes that are called
from an HTML form, you will need to add a hidden _method field to the
form. The value sent with the _method field will be used as the HTTP
request method:
<form action="/foo/bar" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
</form>
You may use the #method Blade directive to generate the _method input:
<form action="/foo/bar" method="POST">
#method('PUT')
#csrf
</form>

There are so many issues in your code lets resolve one by one:
action="/admin/professions-update/{{ $data->pkprofession }}">
change it to:
action="{{ url('/admin/professions-update/' . $data->pkprofession) }}">
and then HTML forms do not support PUT, PATCH or DELETE actions, so chage it to:
<form action="{{ url('/admin/professions-update/' . $data->pkprofession) }}" method="POST">
#method('PUT')
#csrf // this is required when you are using the method other then 'get'
other elements
</form>

Answer 3

You're missing the csrf token and the method input. Try this:
#extends('adminlte::page')
#section('title', 'AdminLTE')
#section('content_header')
<h1>Professions</h1>
#stop
#section('content')
<form method="POST" action="/admin/professions-update/{{ $data->pkprofession }}">
#csrf
#method('PUT')
<div class="form-group">
<label for="profession_name">Profession Name</label>
<input type="text" name="profession_name" id="profession_name" class="form-control" value="{{$data->profession_name}}" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Update</button>
</div>
</form>
#stop
Also, in your update method you are forgeting to update the object, add this to your code:
$data->update($request->all());
