routes.php:
<?php
Route::get('/', 'PagesController#index');
Route::post('/', 'PagesController#store');
PagesController.php
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\service_location;
use App\service_type;
use App\service_request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Request;
class PagesController extends Controller {
public function index()
{
$locations = service_location::lists('location_area', 'location_id');
$services = service_type::lists('service_desc', 'service_id');
return view('home.index', compact('locations','services'));
}
public function store()
{
$input = Request::all();
return $input;
}
}
Unfortunately, the code neither seems to return $input on the screen (implying that its not executing the store() function at all), nor does it throw any error/exception.
Can anyone please let me know why the post method is not resulting in appropriate results here?
Edit 1
I attempted to directly return via the route's inline function, but even that didn't work. Hence, now I'm pretty confident that the post method is not getting triggered at all. This is what I did to verify it:
Route::post('/', function()
{
return 'Hello';
});
Well, I figured the answer to my own question here.
Turns out, that in order to be able to execute a post request, you need to explicitly deploy a PHP server as:
php -s localhost:<AnyFreePort> -t <YourRootDirectory>
Whereas when I attempted to run it the first time through XAMPP, I was attempting to run the application out of sheer laziness, directly as:
http://localhost/myproject/public
which worked fine for a get request.
Even I had same issue, but your solution wasn't helpful for me since I was using Apache server instead of built in PHP server
then I found this solution which says just enter space to form action, weird issue and solution but it worked for me...
Eg.
{!! Form::open(array('url' => ' ', 'method' => 'post')) !!}

I am trying to learn PHP by myself so i decided to create a little health appointment manager.
I tried to do a filter in the Controller so it only shows the future appointments in the index view but I can not find the right way to do it:
Here´s is what I wrote down in my Controller and my view:
Controller:
{
$citas = Cita::all();
$fecha_hora = get('fecha_hora');
if($fecha_hora>date_default_timezone_get()){
return view('citas/index',['citas'=>$citas]);
}
}
and my index view:
#include('flash::message')
{!! Form::open(['route' => 'citas.create', 'method' => 'get']) !!}
{!! Form::submit('Crear cita', ['class'=> 'btn btn-primary'])!!}
{!! Form::close() !!}
{!! Form::open(['route' => 'citas.index', 'method'=>'get']) !!}
<div class="form-group">
<br>
{!! Form::submit('Citas pasadas',['class'=>'btn btn-default btn-sm']) !!}
{!! Form::close() !!}
{!! Form::open(['route' => 'citas.index', 'method' => 'get']) !!}
{!! Form::submit('Todas las citas', ['class'=> 'btn btn-link btn-sm pull-right'])!!}
{!! Form::close() !!}
<br><br>
What i want is to only show the future appointments in the main view but also have a tab "Citas pasadas" (Past appointments in english) where i can see only past appointments.
Maybe you can prepare scopes in your Modelfile. Something like this.
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Carbon\Carbon;
class Cita extends Model
{
public function scopeUpcoming($query) {
return $query->where('start_time', '>', date('Y-m-d H:m:s'))->orderBy('start_time', 'desc');
}
public function scopePrevious($query) {
return $query->where('start_time', '<', date('Y-m-d H:m:s'))->orderBy('start_time', 'desc');
}
}
Then, access them like Cita::upcoming() or Cita::previous()
I have this code for my form and it works well:
<div class="form-group">
<select class="form-control" id="exampleSelect1">
<option>Assign</option>
#foreach ($projects as $project)
<option>{{ $project->name }} </option>
#endforeach
</select>
</div>
but what I'm trying to do is this with a contact form:
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('name', 'Project') !!}
{!! Form::select (#theforeach with the values :c ) !!}}
</div>
I'm using the use App\Http\Requests\ContactFormRequest; and I have been searching the way of doing it but there is to few examples on google.
Form is part of the Laravel Collective HTML library, you can find the documentation here, specifically you're looking for the Select documentation:
echo Form::select('size', ['L' => 'Large', 'S' => 'Small']);
You have a Collection of Project models, each with a name and (presumably) an id which you need to turn into a key -> value array for the select method which you can do using pluck:
{!! Form::select('project', $projects->pluck('name', 'id')) !!}
Then within your controller you'll be able to find the project that has been selected using find, e.g:
Project::find($request->project);
If you want your select options to works, you need to call it properly,
From controller,
// Example : This is for single view page
$list_of_options = Products::pluck('name','id');
return view('your_view_name',compact('list_of_options'));
// Example : If you want select dropdown in all page ( within the controller views) then,
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\View;
public function __construct(){
View::share('list_of_options',Products::pluck('name','id'));
}
Now in blade,
{{ dd($list_of_options); }} // Check if the values are comming in proper formate
{!! Form::select('name_of_the_select', $list_of_options, null ,[
'class' => 'form-control',
'id' => 'name_of_the_select'
]);
!!}
Here is the button with <i> or <span> inside of it :-
{{ Form::button(
'<span class="fa fa-play fa-1x"></span>',
[
'class'=>'btn btn-info',
'type'=>'button'
])
}}
From your question ( UPDATED )
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('exampleSelect1', 'Project') !!}
{!! Form::select('projects', $projects, null ,[
'class' => 'form-control',
'id' => 'exampleSelect1',
'placeholder' => 'Please select project'
]);
!!}
</div>
I hope this helps. :)
Try this
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('project', 'Project') !!}
{!! Form::select ('project', $projects->pluck('name')) !!}}
</div>
See docs https://laravel.com/docs/4.2/html#drop-down-lists
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('project', 'Project') !!}
{!! Form::select ('project', $projects->pluck('name', 'id')) !!}}
</div>
There is a bug in the code somewhere and I cant seem to find it , any help would be great. Its a simple form that stores to a DB.
The app is using laravel 5.2 and all that is needed is to collect data. when the submit button is hit on the form nothing!
route
Route::resource('/form' , 'PagesController');
controller only needs to indes, create and store , thats all the app needs to do.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use Data;
use App\Http\Requests\DataRequest;
use Carbon\Carbon;
class PagesController extends Controller
{
//Display Index
public function index()
{
return view ('welcome');
}
public function create()
{
return view ('create');
}
//Store Articles from form
public function store(DataRequest $request)
{
Data::create($request->all());
return redirect('create')->with('message' , 'Form submitted');
}
}
model uses a simple protected fields list and carbon to store timestamps
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use App\Http\Requests\DataRequest;
use Carbon\Carbon;
class Data extends Model
{
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'email',
'phone',
'company',
'addcomments',
'published_at',
];
protected $dates = ['published_at'];
//Get all published articles by date
public function scopePublished($query)
{
$query->where('published_at' , '<=' , Carbon::now());
}
//Get all unpublished or future articles
public function scopeUnpublished($query)
{
$query->where('published_at' , '>=' , Carbon::now());
}
// Set form to publish articles with a time and date in the Published_at field
public function setPublishedAtAttribute($date)
{
$this->attributes['published_at'] = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d' , $date);
}
}
form
{!! Form::open(['url' => 'form']) !!}
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('name' , 'Name:') !!}
{!! Form::text('name', null , ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('email' , 'EMail:') !!}
{!! Form::text('email', null , ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('phone' , 'Phone Number:') !!}
{!! Form::text('phone', null , ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('company' , 'Company:') !!}
{!! Form::text('company', null , ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('addcomments' , 'Additional Comments:') !!}
{!! Form::textarea('addcomments', null , ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::submit('Submit Now', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary form-control']) !!}
</div>
{!! Form::close() !!}
So the issue was what was mentioned in the comments
use DATA;
to
use App\DATA;
and a mixture of a few little front end tweaks
all sorted
I created a form for myself and it was working perfect. I did some rules like: if the user haven't wrote anything in the form or haven't wrote enough, give me some error message. This was working while used the 'former' package instead of the normally used 'form' package. Now I changed my form from "Former" to "Form" and now my error message are gone.. Well my form works and the rules too. If I don't write anything in my form or not at least 3 characters in the title/content section, it should redirect me with the errors I need. This works, but without the error message.
Here is my form:
#extends('master')
#section('content')
{!! Form::open(array('action' => 'Test\\TestController#store')) !!}
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('thread', 'Title:') !!}
{!! Form::text('thread', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('content', 'Body:') !!}
{!! Form::textarea('content', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::submit('Add Thread', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary form-control']) !!}
</div>
{!! Form::close() !!}
#stop
My Controller#store function:
public function store(StoreRequest $request){
Thread::create($request->all());
return redirect(action('Test\\TestController#index'));
}
my Model:
<?php
namespace App\Models\Thread;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Thread extends Model {
public $table = 'thread';
public $fillable = [
'thread',
'content',
];
}
and now the rules ( StoreRequest.php ) :
<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests\Store;
use App\Http\Requests\Request;
class StoreRequest extends Request {
public function rules() {
return [
'thread' => 'required|min:3',
'content' => 'required|min:3'
];
}
public function authorize() {
return true;
}
}
The error message was getting automaticly generated. Laravel did that for me. But not anymore.
Does anybody see why?
You can check if the form returned any error with something along these line:
#if ($errors->has('name')) <p class="help-block">{{ $errors->first('name') }}</p> #endif
Or you could use BootForm and let it handle everything for you
I'm following a tutorial for laravel and there is something that I don't understand. It's referred to using views composer.
-I have a template called from app/http/routes.php given an Url:
Route::get('cats/create', function(){return view('cats.create');});
this is cats/create.blade.php:
#extends('master')
#section('header')
<h2> Add a new cat </h2>
#stop
#section('content')
{!! Form::open(['url'=>'/cats']) !!}
#include('partials.forms.cat')
{!! Form::close() !!}
#stop
-This template includes another one (partial) which covers the HTML of a Form
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('name','Name') !!}
<div class="form-controls">
{!! Form::text('name', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('date_of_birth', 'Date of Birth') !!}
<div class="form-controls">
{!! Form::date('date_of_birth', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('breed_id','Breed') !!}
<div class="form-controls">
{!! Form::select('breed_id', $breeds, null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
</div>
{!! Form::submit('Save Cat', ['class' => 'btn-primary']) !!}
-Now uses a view composer in order to automatically fullfill the select element when this partial view is called. In AppServiceProvider:
public function boot(ViewFactory $view)
{
$view->composer('partials.forms.cat','Furbook\Http\Views\Composers\CatFormComposer');
}
4.- And this is that CatFormComposer
class CatFormComposer
{
protected $breeds;
public function __construct(Breed $breeds)
{
$this->breeds = $breeds;
}
public function compose(View $view) {
$breeds = $this->breeds;
$view->with('breeds', $breeds->lists('name', 'id'));
}
}
It works. What I don't get is, How is that $breeds parameter being passed to the constructor of the class?
All View Composers are resolved by laravel service container. So when you type-hint Breed $breeds laravel will use php reflection api to find the expected class and inject the instance of that class (in that case: Container will find Breed class , create new Breed and pass the instance on constructor).
Also for deeper understanding you can take look about service locator pattern
