Laravel form no data submitted - php

Question

My form in my-profile.blade.php looks like this:
<form id="profile-form" role="form" method="POST" action="{{ route('myprofile.store') }}">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="<?php echo csrf_token(); ?>">
<div class="col-md-6">
<label for="first_name">First Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="first_name" placeholder="First Name" value="{{$currentUser->first_name}}" required>
</div>
...
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
</form>
web.php file:
Route::resource('myprofile', 'MyProfileController');
MyProfileController controller:
public function store(Request $request)
{
Log::info("request:");
Log::info($request);
Log::info("input:");
Log::info(Input::all());
}
After logging the request and input:
local.INFO: request:
[local.INFO: array (
'_token' => 'S0u7OzktqMS5zVLr9WHwIq52EhGfZKoQWRD6XlCR',
)
local.INFO: input:
local.INFO: array (
'_token' => 'S0u7OzktqMS5zVLr9WHwIq52EhGfZKoQWRD6XlCR',
)
This is what I get.
I also tried the {{csrf_token()}}, the output is the same.
The controller's store function runs, so the action is set up okay.
What could be the problem?

Answer 1

I think there's no name attribute inside your input.

Answer 2

Try this:
<form id="profile-form" role="form" method="POST" action="{{ route('myprofile.store') }}">
{{csrf_field() }}
<div class="col-md-6">
<label for="first_name">First Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="first_name" name="first_name" placeholder="First Name" value="{{$currentUser->first_name}}" required>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
</form>
Controller:
public function store(Request $request)
{
dd($request->get('first_name'));
}
