here's my routes file:
Route::any('target',function(){
return 'got it!';
});
here's my form:
<form method='post' action='example.com/target'>
<input type='text' name='message' />
<input type='submit' name='submit' />
</form>
so It doesn't matter what I fill as the message field , It should return me got it!
but when I enter a url in message field , no matter the method is POST or GET , whether the path exist's or not, I get redirected to the root (example.com)
I don't have this problem on localhost, but on the shared host
thanks
Check your APP_URL env variable in config/app.php
Make sure once you are in production (or any other env for that matter), this value is changed accordingly.
edit:
Also check your action, either use named routes and route('route-name') or the url helpers to get proper urls.
Url helpers:
<form method="post" action="{{ Url::to('/target') }}">
Named routes:
Route::any('target', function(){
return 'got it!';
})->name('target-name');
With your form action like this:
<form method="post" action="{{ route('target-name') }}">
Also, is that the only route you have specified? Or are there more routes defined where you use target ?
change your action into this action='/target'
You can change your code in 2 ways.
First of all change the route like this
Route::get('/target', array('as'=>'target_name','uses'=>function(){
return 'got it!';
}));
After that you can use like this way
1) <form method="post" action="{{ URL::to('/target') }}">
or
2) <form method="post" action="{{ URL::route('target_name') }}">
Thanks
