laravel 5.1 form and routing issue - php

Question

Hi i am trying to get the output from my form to save and even when i try to echo(print_r) the output it but it simply goes to the post request and does not echo any output.
my route looks like:
Route::controller('stove', 'StoveController', [
'anyData' => 'stove.data',
'getIndex' => 'stove',
]);
Route::get('newstove', 'StoveController#addData');
Route::post('newstove', 'StoveController#store');
my controller:
public function addData()
{
return view('stoves.new');
}
public function store()
{
$input = Request::all();
Stove::create($input);
return redirect('stove');
}
and finally my form is
<form class="form-horizontal" action="/stove">
<fieldset>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="stoveno">Stove Number</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" class="span4" id="stoveno" value="CP001000">
</div> <!-- /controls -->
</div> <!-- /control-group -->
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="refno">Ref Number</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" class="span4" id="refno" value="cff001">
</div> <!-- /controls -->
</div> <!-- /control-group -->
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="manufacturedate">Manufacture Date</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="date" class="span4" id="manufacturedate">
</div> <!-- /controls -->
</div> <!-- /control-group-->
<div class="form-actions">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
<button class="btn">Cancel</button>
</div> <!-- /form-actions -->
</fieldset>
</form>
Thanks

Answer 1

Change the first line of your form to the following..
<form class="form-horizontal" action="/newstove" method="post">
This should submit your form via the POST method to the last route in your routes file.
From what I can see the first part of your routes file is not required...
Route::controller('stove', 'StoveController', [
'anyData' => 'stove.data',
'getIndex' => 'stove',
]);

Answer 2

Route::post('newstove', 'StoveController#store');
You need to add method="post" to the form. and change the action="/stove" to action="/newstove"
Also, isn't it Route::resource for adding controllers to the route list?
