Post Data not working correctly Laravel - php

Question

I have a Route as below that will display a profile depending on the data in the url:
Route::get('/{region}/{summonername}', function () {
return 'Summoner Profile';
});
I have a Form on the Home page which consists of a Input Box and Region Selector. I am posting this data to:
Route::post('/summoner/data');
The problem is that i don't know how i can convert the form data eg. Summoner Name and Region into the url format where the user will be displayed with the profile page and the url would be /{region}/{summonername}. Am i supposed to use a Redirect::to inside my controller? I feel like that is a crappy way of doing it. Any Suggestions?
Right now when i post the data the url displays as '/summoner/data'.
I hope this makes sense, let me know if you need more clarification.

Answer 1

Routes :
Route::post('/summoner/data','ControllerName#FunctionName');
Route::get('/{region}/{summonername}', function () {
return view('SummonerProfile');
});
Controller:
public function FunctionName()
{
$SummonerName = Input::get('SummonerName');
$Region = Input::get('Region');
return Redirect::to('/{$Region}/{$SummonerName}');
}
Hope this will work. Try it!
Using Routes:
Route::post('/summoner/data',function () {
$SummonerName = Input::get('SummonerName');
$Region = Input::get('Region');
return Redirect::to('/{'.$Region.'}/{'.$SummonerName.'}');
});
Route::get('/{region}/{summonername}', function () {
return view('SummonerProfile');
});

Yes, you will need to redirect:
Route::post('/summoner/data', function (Request $request) {
return redirect()->url($request->region .'/'. $request->summonername);
});

Answer 3

If you want to take the data from URL, just do the following
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
Route::post('/summoner/data', function (Request $request) {
echo $request->segment(1); // gives summoner
echo $request->segment(2); // gives data
});
