Laravel 5 form submit creates an error MethodNotAllowedHttpException - php

Question

I'm using Laravel 5. When editing a form a get this error
MethodNotAllowedHttpException
There are a few posts but I think it may be code specific. I'd rather not use the resource route methods if possible. Route:
Route::get('profile/edit', array('as' => 'admin.profile.edit', 'uses' => 'ProfileController#edit'));
Route::post('profile/edit', array('as' => 'admin.profile.update', 'uses' => 'ProfileController#update'));
The form is :
{!!Form::model($profile,array('method'=>'Patch','route' =>array('admin.profile.update'))) !!}
Controller:
public function update()
{
$user_id=$this->user->id;
$input=array_except(Input::all(),'_method');
Profile::where('user_id','=',$user_id)->update($input);
return Redirect::route('admin.profile.index');
}
Here is the error info:

Thanks any help appreciated

Answer 1

Can you change this:
Route::post('profile/edit', array(
'as' => 'admin.profile.update',
'uses' => 'ProfileController#update'
));
To this:
Route::patch('profile/edit', array(
'as' => 'admin.profile.update',
'uses' => 'ProfileController#update'
));
I think your form action may need a matching route verb
http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/routing#basic-routing
For the second issue:
Column not found: 1054 Unknown column '_method' in 'field list' (SQL: update user_profile` set _method = PATCH, _token =
Add this to the top of your controller
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
Then update your method as so:
public function update(Request $request)
{
$user_id = $this->user->id;
$input = $request->except('_method', '_token');
Profile::where('user_id','=', $user_id)->update($input);
return Redirect::route('admin.profile.index');
}

Answer 2

In my case works adding protected $guarded = ['_token']; in Model file.
