updating of records in laravel 4.2 - php

Question

Hello im new in laravel 4.2 and i m making an application in the controllers, i made my own function called c_updateSystemUser($id) and here is the code
public function c_updateSystemUser($id)
{
//
session_start();
$getsCapt = $_SESSION["captcha"];
$rules = array(
'username' => 'required|min:2|max:50|regex:/^[a-zA-Z0-9\-\s]+$/|exists:dbo_systemusers,SystemUserName,$id',
'description' => 'required|min:1|max:100|regex:/^[a-zA-Z0-9\-\s]+$/',
'usertype' => 'required|numeric',
'capt' => 'required|numeric'
);
$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);
// process the inputs given by the user
if ($validator->fails())
{
return Redirect::to('viewsu/' . $id)
->withErrors($validator)
->withInput(Input::except('password'));
}
else
{
// store the values into the database
$su = SystUser::find($id);
$su->SystemUserTypeID = Input::get('usertype');
$su->SystemUserName = Input::get('username');
$su->SystemUserDescription = Input::get('description');
$su->timestamps = false;
$su->save();
Session::flash('message', 'Successfully created system user!');
return Redirect::to('viewsu');
}
}
}
i wanted this function to be called when the user clicked the update button on my view file but when the button is clicked, it is redirecting to some other page (my create user page) i don't know why
here is the code of my form in my blade
{{ Form::model($su, array('route' =>array('csu.update',$su->SystemUserID),'method'=>'PUT'))}}
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::label('usertype', 'User Type') }}
{{ Form::select('usertype', [null=>'Please Select user type'] + $sTyp , array('class'=>'form-control'))}}
{{ Form::label('current' , 'Current Type: (unedited) '.$su->SystemType , array('class' => 'label label-primary')) }}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::label('username', 'Username') }}
{{ Form::text('username', $su->SystemUserName, array('class' => 'form-control')) }}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::label('description', 'Description') }}
{{ Form::textarea('description', $su->SystemUserDescription, array('class' => 'form-control','rows' => '3')) }}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::label('captcha', 'CAPTCHA image: ') }}
</br>
{{ HTML::image('http://localhost:8080/laravel3/app/captcha.php', 'alt' , array( 'width' => 200, 'height' => 35 )) }} </br></br>
{{ Form::text('capt', Input::old('capt'), array('class' => 'form-control','placeholder' => 'enter generated captcha')) }}
</div>
{{ Form::submit('Edit System User', array('class' => 'btn btn-primary')) }}
{{ Form::close()}}
i don't know how to make the form call the function public function c_updateSystemUser($id) in my controller
my controller file is called systemUsers.php
any ideas? any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

If your view name is update and its in views->csu folder you can do it like following
{{ Form::model($su, array('route' =>array('csu.update.c_updateSystemUser',$su->SystemUserID),'method'=>'PUT'))}}
#yourentry
{{Form::close()}}
Your route should be like following:
Route::resource('csu','systemUsers');
In systemUsers.php add c_updateSystemUser($id){} method.
