Route::post('deactivatecountry', array( 'as' => 'deactivatecountry', 'uses' => 'CountriesController@deactivateCountry' )); Route::post('deactivatestate', array( 'as' => 'deactivatestate', 'uses' => 'StatesController@deactivateState' )); Javascript
function deactivateCountry(country_id) { if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); } else { xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() { if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {} } xmlhttp.open("POST","deactivatecountry", true); xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); xmlhttp.send("country_id=" + country_id); } function deactivateState(state_id) { if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); } else { xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() { if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {} } xmlhttp.open("POST","deactivatestate", true); xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); xmlhttp.send("state_id=" + state_id); } When the deactivateCountry function in my javascript is called, the code works perfectly fine. It calls the deactivateCountry method in the CountriesController and it deactivates the country as expected.
But when I call the deactivateState function, it throws a MethodNotAllowedHttpException and I have no idea why.
Both the country and the state have the same route and the functions are similar but one is working and the other is not.
Can somebody please help me with this? I have been sitting on this for a couple of hours now and I'm not able to figure out why this is happening
Here is the error that I am getting when I call the deactiveState method
