I'm using resource controller in Laravel 5.3 and I'm having problem with deleting a record. I would like to use simple HTML code and I know that I have to add a hidden method input to make it work.
My code is very simple:
<form action="{{ url('/task', $task->id) }}">
{{ method_field('DELETE') }}
<input type="submit" value="Delete" />
</form>
After clicking submit app redirects to blank page - it doesn't go to destroy function in controller. I don't have any idea, why it's not working. I'm not using facades, is it necessary in operation like this? I'll be very glad for every tip, thank you.
You're most likely running into a TokenMismatchException. Laravel considers the DELETE method a "writable" method, so it expects a CSRF token.
You can either add a CSRF token to your form, or, if appropriate, you can add your URI to the except array in your app/Http/Middleware/VerifyCsrfToken.php file.
To add the token to your form:
<form action="{{ url('/task', $task->id) }}">
{{ method_field('DELETE') }}
{{ csrf_field() }}
<input type="submit" value="Delete" />
</form>

I am trying to hit a route I made to make a delete HTTP request in laravel view when user clicks on 'Delete' button, but it won't work. I've read it should be done with forms in laravel.
Here is my code:
<form action="/admin/pages/delete/{{ $section->id }}" method="post">
{{ method_field('delete') }}
<button class="btn btn-sm" type="submit">Delete</button>
</form>
What is a proper way to handle this?
It shows me an error in the console, Bootbox: 'please specify a message' whenever I click on the button.
Route definition inside admin group:
Route::delete('/pages/delete/{id}', 'PagesController#delete')->name('pages.delete');
I believe you are missing the csrf token in the form.
You can add
{{ csrf_field() }}
just after your form starts.
Visit this link for knowing more about csrf
You must add the the CSRF Field because all form submission must past through the VerifyCsrfToken middleware before the request be procede by the controller
{{ csrf_field() }} // add this before or after the {{ method_field() }}
I am not using resource controller.
The route:
Route::delete('/deleteTag/{tag}','Controller2#deleteTag');
The controller function:
public function deleteTag(Tag $tag){
$Tag = Tag::where('id', $tag->id)->get()->first();
$Tag->delete();
return redirect()->action('Controller2#main');
}
The call:
<form method="delete" action="http://***/public/deleteTag/{{$tag->id}}">
{!! Form::token() !!}
<button type="submit">delete</button>
</form>
The program returns a MethodNotAllowedHttpException.
Thank you.
You may try this (Notice the hidden _method input):
<form method="post" action="http://***/public/deleteTag/{{$tag->id}}">
{!! Form::token() !!}
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="DELETE">
<button type="submit">delete</button>
</form>
Check Form Method Spoofing.
Update:
In the latest versions of Laravel, it's possible to use blade directives for csrf and method in the form, for example:
<form method="post" action="...">
#csrf
#method('DELETE')
<button type="submit">delete</button>
</form>
It's better to change your route to this mode:
Route::resource('tags','TagController');
You should register a resourceful route to the controller. This single route declaration creates multiple routes to handle a variety of RESTful actions on the Tag resource.
Remember, since HTML forms can't make PUT, PATCH, or DELETE requests, you will need to add a hidden _method field to spoof these HTTP verbs.
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="DELETE">
or add this in your form
{{method_field('DELETE')}}
i was trying to follow this tutorial on Laravel, even though most of the code & directories there were outdated, i managed to make the "Add Task" and also The Form to show up after a few errors.
now the problem, the delete button.
when i click on it, it shows a "MethodNotAllowedHttpException".
i changed the source code to match the newest version of Laravel.
my form (current version) :
<form action="{{ url('/task/'.$task->id) }}" method="POST">
{{ method_field('DELETE') }}
{{ csrf_field() }}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger">
<i class="fa fa-btn fa-trash"></i>Delete
</button>
</form>
my route :
Route::delete('/task/{id}', function ($id) {
Task::findOrFail($id)->delete();
return redirect('/');
});
i've been trying to fix this for 4 hours now, changing the methods of my route and form; but to no avail.
this is my first question on this site, sorry if there's something wrong in this question.
thanks~
edit:
to further help the effort, here's the complete error log
Error log, in Google Chrome
Change
<form action="{{ url('task/'.$task->id) }}" method="DELETE">
to
<form action="{{ url('task/'.$task->id) }}" method="POST">
Because form method DELETE does not exist, Laravel just "overwrites" this method with the hidden input "method" (you can place this input using "{{ method_field('DELETE') }}").
Form dosent support method Delete or Put ... It support only get and post methods, if You want implement delete in laravel this article will help you

Answer :
Turns out the problem lies in the Database-table itself, let me explain :
i was referring to a 'tasks' table that is referred as 'task' in code (no problem)
BUT, i was referring to a column called "ID" in my table as "id" in my code, creating the error (a rookie mistake).
thanks to #Autista_z for the pointer, and everyone else below for the guidance!
I'm having a bit of an issue when it comes to updating a form and and having an file input. Here is what I am working with.
I have a form in laravel 5.1 which has a post method and a hidden 'Patch' method. This works as is should updating the fields that are in the form. However, when it introduce:
<input type="file" id="profile_picture" name="image_url" />
into the form, i get a:
MethodNotAllowedHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 218:
laravel error. I have tried changing the
<input type='hidden' name='_method' value='PATCH'>
to PUT and it still doesnt like it.
My form looks like this:
<form action='{{url("profiles/$user->id")}}' method="post" class="form-horizontal" enctype="multipart/form-data">
route resource looks like this:
Route::resource('profiles', 'ProfilesController');
I can't figure out what I am missing here...Any help is much appreciated.
I believe it has to do with the exact route you are typing out in the "action" parameter matching up with the profile controller's update method.
Try changing
action'{{url("profiles/$user->id")}}'
to
action='{{ route("profiles.update", $user->id) }}'
Additionally, you could use the Laravel Collective HTML package to simply opening and closing of forms.
Also for POST Request types, you need to send the CSRF token along with your form data. If you are using laravel blade template in your view, you may use
{{ csrf_field() }}
which translates to
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value={{ csrf_token() }}
Please refer the documentation for this.
How can I place a token in laravel, I am getting a token error? Thank you for your collaboration.
I'm guessing the reason way Jeffery's code works is because the version of Laravel doesn't have default csrf protection, so if u want to make your form works, you have to manually add :
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
or create the form with the form helper:
{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'foo/bar')) }}
//
{{ Form::close() }}
which will automatically generate the hidden input tag of csrf token
