Laravel new project routing not working? - php

Question

Laravel new project routing not working? This is the routes.php file:
<?php
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Route::get('ID/{id}',function($id){
echo 'ID: '.$id;
});
Route::get('/user/{name?}',function($name = 'Virat Gandhi'){
echo "Name: ".$name;
});
So what i have done is this. I started the local laravel development server with: php artisan serve. Just like the book told me that i am going through (Laravel 5). But now only the first routing works '/' which uses the welcome view blade template.
But all other routings don't work >.<
Can someone please help me? I'm stuck.
My app/public/htacess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews -Indexes
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

I tried your all routes it's working fine.
Note:routes are case-sensitive make sure you are accessing the same route as you mentioned in the route.php
I tried below routes :
http://localhost:8000/user/1
return :Name: 1
http://localhost:8000/ID/1
return :ID: 1

You have to use return not echo
Like this:
Route::get('ID/{id}', function($id) {
return 'ID: ' . $id;
});

return :ID: 1
Note : make sure you run apache & mysql services from xamp before you serve you project.

Sorry i'm not able to tell this in the comments above as i don't have enough rep.
I think the problem is your mixing the servers you are using. First try launching your LAMP server and start apache and mysql. Since you've said that the apache launched by LAMP is pointed at port 80, you can try and access it directly on the browser (e.g. http://localhost/yourproject/public/user/1).
I'm guessing since you're using LAMP, your project is under the www root. That's why i've entered the full path for accessing the user route.
