Eloquent ORM - update and delete not working - php

I am working on CRUD for my first Laravel project. Displaying and showing items is working fine.
I tried to update the entry with Query to confirm that I can change values in the table and it worked:
DB::update("UPDATE seasons SET title = 'foo' WHERE ID = 1");
My Problem is that neither updating nor deleting entries will work.
<?php
class SeasonAdminController extends \BaseController
{
// WORKS
public function store()
{
$season = new Season;
$season->title = Input::get('title');
$season->save();
Session::flash('message', 'success!');
return Redirect::to('backend/season');
}
// NOT WORKING
public function update($id)
{
$season = Season::find($id);
$season->title = Input::get('title');
$season->save();
Session::flash('message', 'success!');
return Redirect::to('backend/season');
}
// NOT WORKING
public function destroy($id)
{
Season::destroy($id);
Session::flash('message', 'success!');
return Redirect::to('backend/season/');
}
}
My Route is the following:
Route::resource('backend/season', 'SeasonAdminController');
The form-tag from the edit page:
{{ Form::model($season, array('route' => array('backend.season.update', $season->ID), 'method' => 'PUT')) }}
The form for deleting an entry:
{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'backend/season/' . $value->ID, 'class' => 'pull-right')) }}
{{ Form::hidden('_method', 'DELETE') }}
{{ Form::submit('Löschen', array('class' => 'btn btn-danger')) }}
{{ Form::close() }}
What am I missing here. I appreciate you help, thank you!

The error was that I had "ID" instead of "id" as a primary key in the database table. I am not quite sure why this should not work, but I guess it has to do with the default primary key from the Eloquent Model.

public function update($id){
$inputs = Input::only(array('title'));
if (!$id->update($inputs)) {
Session::flash('message', 'Error!');
}else{
Session::flash('message', 'success!');
}
return Redirect::to('backend/season');
}
public function destroy($id){
if($id){
if($id->delete()){
Session::flash('message', 'Success: Deleted!');
}else{
Session::flash('message', 'Error: Not Deleted!');
}
}
return Redirect::to('backend/season');
}
Try it out.
By the way, the $id is not the season id, can't use find($id) on it because it's an object.
Edit:
You should follow this tutorial
https://www.packtpub.com/books/content/laravel-4-creating-simple-crud-application-hours
Because you do not yet understand how to use models in routes.
Take special attention on how forms are built.

Check your model
class Session extends Model{
protected $table = 'session '; //DB table name
protected $primaryKey = 'Id'; //Primary key Name... some time ORM cant identify the primary key
}

Laravel update method passing through model name instead of ID

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

LARAVEL use single form for both Edit and Insert actions

in my application i want to simplify forms and change Form::model to use both of Update and Insert, for have this ability i'm create this route:controller to show View and modrate it:
Route::controller(
'customers' , 'customersController',
array(
'getIndex' =>'customers.index',
'postUpdate'=>'customers.update'
)
);
customersController controller class:
<?php
class customersController extends \BaseController
{
public function getIndex()
{
if ( Auth::check() ){
$customers = new Customers;
return View::make('layouts.customers')->with('customers', $customers);
}
return Redirect::route('dashboard');
}
public function postUpdate($id)
{
print_r( $id);
die;
}
}
?>
in getIndex i can return to view customers.blade.php corretcly and i can be create new variable as an new Customers, in view i'm create below form from created new instance from Customers:
{{ Form::model($customers,array('route' => array('customers.update', $customers->id))) }}
...
{{ Form::submit('UPDATE', array('class'=>'btn btn-default btn-default-small') ) }}
{{ Form::close() }}
now i want to send form values to controler, but after send i get this error:
ERROR:
Missing argument 1 for customersController::postUpdate()
form in view must be like with this code :
{{ Form::model($customers,array('route' => array('customers.update', $customers->id))) }}
and your Form::text must be like with:
{{ Form::text('name', $customers->name, array('class'=>'form-control rtl' ) ) }}
Route:
Route::controller(
'customers', 'customersController',
array(
'getIndex' => 'customers.index',
'postUpdate' => 'customers.update'
)
);
now in controller you can try this code to detect form is update or insert
public function postUpdate()
{
if (Input::get('id')) {
$customer = Customers::find(Input::get('id'));
} else {
$customer = new Customers;
}
...
...
...
}

Laravel4: Call to a member function update() on a non-object

Following are my codes:
Model:
class Slide extends \Eloquent {
// Add your validation rules here
public static $rules = [
'title' => 'required|between:3,100',
'image' => 'required',
'url' => 'url',
'active' => 'integer'
];
// Don't forget to fill this array
protected $fillable = ['title', 'image', 'url', 'active'];
}
Controller Update Method:
public function update($id)
{
$slide = Slide::find($id);
$validator = Validator::make($data = Input::all(), Slide::$rules);
if ($validator->fails())
{
return Redirect::back()->withErrors($validator)->withInput();
}
$slide->update($data);
return Redirect::route('admin.slides.index')
->with('message', 'Slide has been updated.')
->with('message-type', 'alert-success');
}
Route:
Route::group(array('prefix' => 'admin'), function() {
# Slides Management
Route::resource('slides', 'AdminSlidesController', array('except' => array('show')));
});
Form in View:
{{ Form::model($slide, array('route' => 'admin.slides.update', $slide->id, 'method' => 'put')) }}
#include('admin/slides/partials/form')
{{ Form::close() }}
Partial Form is simple form, not sure if I need to share it here or not. Let me know.
Error:
Edit page loads perfectly and populates data from db, but when I submit the edit form, I get following error:
Call to a member function update() on a non-object
The following line seems to be creating problems:
$slide->update($data);
I have searched over the internet for solution but nothing is working. Have tried composer dump_autoload, even tried doing everything from scratch in a new project, still same issue. :(
Help please!!
---- Edit ----
Just quickly tried following:
public function update($id)
{
$slide = Slide::find($id);
$slide->title = Input::get('title');
$slide->save();
return Redirect::route('admin.slides.index')
->with('message', 'Slide has been updated.')
->with('message-type', 'alert-success');
}
Now the error:
Creating default object from empty value
----- Solution: -----
The problem was with my form as suggested by #lukasgeiter
I changed my form to following at it worked like a charm:
{{ Form::model($slide, array('route' => array('admin.slides.update', $slide->id), 'method' => 'put')) }}
use $slide->save(); instead of $slide->update($data);
to update a model please read the laravel doc here
To update a model, you may retrieve it, change an attribute, and use the save method:
EX :
$user = User::find(1);
$user->email = 'john#foo.com';
$user->save();
The actual problem is not your controller but your form.
It should be this instead:
{{ Form::model($slide, array('route' => array('admin.slides.update', $slide->id), 'method' => 'put')) }}
This mistake causes the controller to receive no id. Then find() yields no result and returns null.
I recommend besides fixing the form you also use findOrFail() which will throw a ModelNotFoundException if no record is found.
$slide = Slide::findOrFail($id);

Laravel PHP 4: 'Put' method generates 'MethodNotAllowedHttpException'

I am trying to modify a form used for editing and updating data. However when I try submitting the 'edit' form, I keep getting a 'MethodNotAllowedHttpException'. I'm not sure if this is because I am using the 'PUT' method incorrectly or my 'EditAlbumsController.php' file is not defined correctly.
edit-album.blade.php:
{{ Form::model($album, array('method' => 'PUT', 'route' => array('edit_album', $album->album_id))) }}
/* Form code here */
{{ Form::close() }}
routes.php:
Route::get('gallery/album/{id}/edit', array('as'=>'edit_album', 'uses'=>'EditAlbumsController#update'));
EditAlbumsController.php:
class EditAlbumsController extends AlbumsController {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function update($id)
{
$input = \Input::except('_method');
$validation = new Validators\Album($input);
if ($validation->passes())
{
$album = Album::find($id);
$album->album_name = $input['album_name'];
/* Additional database fields go here */
$album->touch();
return $album->save();
return \Redirect::route('gallery.album.show', array('id' => $id));
}
else
{
return \Redirect::route('gallery.album.edit', array('id' => $id))
->withInput()
->withErrors($validation->errors)
->with('message', \Lang::get('gallery::gallery.errors'));
}
}
Any help is greatly appreciated!
You need to define the PUT route (you are incorrectly using GET)
Route::put('gallery/album/{id}/edit', array('as'=>'edit_album', 'uses'=>'EditAlbumsController#update'));

Laravel 4 Creating Form for adding record with relationship

I have created very basic Model. I have persons table and emails table.
Also I have create a link in the persons/show.blade.php ("Add mail").
My models are
class Person extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'persons';
public function email()
{
return $this->HasMany('Email');
}
}
and
class Email extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'emails';
public static $rules = array(
'email'=>'required|unique:emails'
);
public function person()
{
return $this->belongsTo('Person');
}
}
How can I pass the $person->id to the new Controller?
In my show.blade.php for Person I added
{{ HTML::linkRoute('email.adduseremail','Προσθήκη Email',array($person->id))}}
and I added to my EmailController
public function adduseremail($id)
{
return View::make('email.createforuser',['id'=>$id]);
}
public function storeforuser($pid)
{
$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(),Email::$rules);
if ($validator->fails()) {
$messages = $validator->messages();
foreach ($messages->all('<li>:message</li>') as $message)
return Redirect::back()->withInput()->WithErrors($messages);
}
$person = Person::FindorFail($pid);
$email = new Email;
$email->email = Input::get('email');
$email->person()->associate($person);
$email->save();
return Redirect::route('person.index');
}
and my createforuser view is
<p>
{{Form::open(['route'=>'email.storeforuser'])}}
<div>
{{Form::label('email', 'Email:')}}
{{Form::input('text', 'email')}}
{{$errors->first('email')}}
</div>
</br>
<div>
{{Form::submit('Submit')}}
</div>
{{Form::close()}}
<p>
I keep getting Trying to get property of non-object (View: /var/www/laravel/app/views/email/show.blade.php)
Is there any example using Form and Models for inserting new objects to the database for 'belongsTo' Relationship? I couldn't find anything complete , just partial examples.
I generally use laravel sessions or laravel cache to tempererally save an id that i need to use later like:
Session::set('personId',$person->id);
Session::get('personId');
The same is for cache except cache will only last for the current request session is persistent for the session
Hope that helps
I am no sure if I 'm supposed to answer my own question but finally I found a solution.
I set two new routes
Route::post('email/adduseremail/{pid}', array('uses'=>'EmailController#adduseremail','as' => 'email.adduseremail'));
Route::post('email/storeforuser/{pid}', array('uses' =>'EmailController#storeforuser','as' => 'email.storeforuser'));
and created the corresponding methods in my Controller
public function adduseremail($id)
{
$pname = Person::Find($id)->name;
$psurname = Person::Find($id)->surname;
return View::make('email.createforuser',array('id'=>$id,'name'=>$pname, 'surname'=>$psurname));
}
and
public function storeforuser($pid)
{
$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(),Email::$rules);
if ($validator->fails())
{
$messages = $validator->messages();
foreach ($messages->all('<li>:message</li>') as $message)
return Redirect::back()->withInput()->WithErrors($messages);
}
$person = Person::FindorFail($pid);
$email = new Email;
$email->email = Input::get('email');
$email->person()->associate($person);
$email->save();
return Redirect::route('person.show',array($person->id));
}
then on my view blade pages I can pass the parameters from View to Form and so on
person.show.blade.php
{{Form::Open(array('route' => array('email.adduseremail', $person->id),'method' => 'POST','style'=>'display:inline;'))}}
{{Form::submit('Add Email')}}
{{Form::close()}}
and
email.createforuser.blade.php
{{Form::open(array('route'=>array('email.storeforuser',$id),'method' => 'POST','style'=>'display:inline;'))}}
{{Form::label('email', 'Email:')}}
{{Form::input('text', 'email')}}
{{Form::submit('Submit')}}
Hope it helps others also
