Laravel update method passing through model name instead of ID - php

Question

I am having an issue with my resource route when calling the update method.
I get this error:
Creating default object from empty value
The controller:
public function update($id)
{
$input = Input::all();
$validation = Validator::make($input, Vehicle::$rules, Vehicle::$messages);
if ($validation->passes())
{
$this->vehicle->update($id, $input);
return Redirect::route('admin.vehicles.index')->with('success', 'Car Updated');
}
return Redirect::back()
->withInput()
->withErrors($validation);
}
repository:
public function update($id, $input)
{
$vehicle = Vehicle::find($id);
$vehicle->VRM = $input['VRM'];
$vehicle->make = $input['make'];
$vehicle->model = $input['model'];
$vehicle->description = $input['description'];
$vehicle->save();
}
Route:
Route::resource('/admin/vehicles', 'VehiclesController');
If I print the ID then it shows {vehicle}.
My form is this:
{{ Form::open(['route' => 'admin.vehicles.update', 'class' => 'form-horizontal edit-vehicle-form', 'method' => 'PATCH']) }}
// input fields etc
{{ Form::close() }}
I think there is something wrong with the form possibly? Since when the error is thrown the URL is:
http://localhost/admin/vehicles/%7Bvehicles%7D
Never had any issues before with using resource routes with CRUD applications and cant see where this is going wrong?

Answer 1

You need the id in update route...
{{ Form::open(['route' => array('admin.vehicles.update', $vehicle->id), 'class' => 'form-horizontal edit-vehicle-form', 'method' => 'PATCH']) }}
