How get id off button in laravel controller laravel 5.3 - php

Question

Here i have buttons like this
<button type="submit" name="submit_1" class="btn green" value="submit_1">Save & Add Another</button>
<button type="submit" name="submit_1" class="btn green" value="submit_2">Save & Exit</button>
in my controller i redirect pages on button click i cannot change name of buttons because i am using in update function to redirect with submit_1
now what should do i also can use id maybe for this but dont know how to use it
if(Input::get('submit_1')) {
return redirect()->route('data.create');
} elseif(Input::get('')) {
return redirect()->route('data.index');
}
Its always redirect to create page but i want if i click button2 which is Save & Exit it should be redirect to index page.
what should i do to to differentiate between buttons except changing name of buttons.. if any method with id please help me and guide to best

Answer 1

You need to compare the input with a value.
At the minute your basically just saying if('submit_1') (or 'submit_2') either will evaluate to being true, you're not actually checking the the value for submit_1 is actually 'submit_1'.
(I think the confusion comes from having the value of one of your buttons being the same as the name of your buttons )
Change your if condition to be:
if(Input::get('submit_1') == 'submit_1')
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

You should look for the value of the submit_1 button.
if(Input::get('submit_1') == "submit_1") {
return redirect()->route('data.create');
} else if(Input::get('submit_1') == "submit_2") {
return redirect()->route('data.index');
}
However giving same name to 2 different buttons is not a good approach.

Answer 3

first set id in your button.
lets say id 1 and id 2
In this case route call in your button should be like..
<a href="[your route]" id=1 class="btn green">
And in your routs it should be like
Route::get('[your link to be displayed]{id?}', 'Controller#action')
In th function call it should be like
public function action($id = null) {
if($id=1) {
return redirect()->route('data.create');
}
elseif($id=2) {
return redirect()->route('data.index');
}
}
Hope this would be usefull
