I have created an a tag in my x.blade.pdp file
<a href="{{ URL::to('/certificate/pdf/'.$year) }}" class= "text-center">Print Certificate</a>
In web.php
Route::get('/certificate/pdf/{$year}','PDFController@export_pdf');
My Controller
public function export_pdf( $year)
But when I click on the link the page cannot be displayed. I would like to use the $year in the where clause .
Please I need some assistance
Controller function should be like this
public function export_pdf( Request $request){
$year = $request->year;
}
Route should be like this
Route::get('/certificate/pdf/{year}','PDFController@export_pdf');
if the year is optional then route is
Route::get('/certificate/pdf/{year?}','PDFController@export_pdf');
You must remove the $
and use: Route::get('/certificate/pdf/{year}','PDFController@export_pdf');
in your web.php file.
In routes/web.php
, define your route much like you have done (I normally put the name also at the end).
Route::get('/someroute/route-url/{param1}', 'Directory\ControllerName@controller_function')->name('route-url-name');
Then you can describe that route in your view/blade by using its name, and pass the param:
{{ route('route-url-name', $param) }}
