laravel form post issue

I think this post: Form submits as GET Laravel 4 is related to your problem. I think the problem as I undersood it is caused by end a form url with a / . I found this when having problems to using post to a ./ url in my form. There is also a bug at github that seems like it is related https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/1804.

I know this is an old question but I found this thread having the same problem so hopefully someone else is helped by my answer.

You need to make sure that your form's method does NOT end in a / for it to be routed correctly. For example if you have the following route:

Route::post('form/process', function() { # code here ... }); 

Then you need to have the following form definition:

<form action="/form/process" method="POST"> 

I hope that helps.

I have same problem with OSx + MAMP, initially I've resolved with Raul's solution:

{{ Form::open(array('url' => ' ', 'method' => 'post')) }} 

but after consultation with my friend we have concluded that my problem was due to the fact my lavarel project is avaliable by long local path, as:

 http://localhost/custom/custom2/... 

in this location the post/get method on root path ("/") not working correctly.

Lavarel to working correctly must be avaliable by "vhost", in this case the problem get/post method on root location "/" not exist.

My friend advised me to use http://www.vagrantup.com/

There is some helpfull information in the Laravel Docs. Check these out:

• Resource Controllers (or RESTful Controllers)
• Forms & HTML
  • Opening A Form
• Routing
  • Named Routes

I recommend you read the Resource Controllers documentation as it makes form handling a lot easier.

Well, you just return the view, so nothing change. You should bind your route to a controller to do some logic and add data to your view, like this:

index.blade.php

@extends('master') @section('container') <div class="wrapper"> @if (isset($message)) <p>{{$message}}</p> @endif {{ Form::open(array('url' => '/', 'method' => 'post')) }} {{ Form::text('url') }} {{ Form::text('valid') }} {{ Form::submit('shorten') }} {{ Form::close() }} </div><!-- /wrapper --> @stop 

Your routes

Routes::any('/', 'home@index'); 

You controller HomeController.php

public function index() { $data = array(); $url = Input::get('url'); if ($url) $data['message'] = "foo"; return View::make('index', $data); } 

You can also modify your current routes without using a controller like this (use the new view file)

Route::get('/', function() { return View::make('index'); }); Route::post('/', function() { return View::make('index')->with('message', 'Foo'); }); 

The problem is with defualt slashed in Apache from 2.0.51 and heigher: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryslash

The best solution if you do not want to change Apache config is to make the post in a different path:

GOOD:

Route::get('/', ['as' => 'wizard', 'uses' => 'WizardController@create']); Route::post('wizard-post', ['as' => 'wizard_store', 'uses' => 'WizardController@store']); 

NOT GOOD:

Route::get('/', ['as' => 'wizard', 'uses' => 'WizardController@create']); Route::post('/', ['as' => 'wizard_store', 'uses' => 'WizardController@store']);
