This solution came from https://laravel.io/forum/01-30-2015-form-submission-to-the-same-page. Hope it helps
I have done a get route to display the page. I then did route a post to post form data.
Then I passed the $data variable to blade where I did an isset to check if it is created which displays the results
Display initial page
public function destinationSearchGet(){
$headData = array('pageTitle' => 'Admin Home - View all destinations');
return view('admin.destination_search', $headData);
}
post data back to the same page and create a new variable
public function destinationSearchPost(){
$headData = array('pageTitle' => 'Admin Home - Search results');
$formData = Request::input('destination');
$data = ParentRegionList::destinationSearch($formData);
return view('admin.destination_search', $headData)->with(compact('data'))
}
use blade to check if it exists
#if (isset($data))
<p>{{dd($data)}}</p>
#endif
