I'm building a laravel application where from The first page I want to send a variable or say value to second page in a form ..How do I do it? Let's say In my first page I have several buttons so when a user click on any one button, he will be redirected to another page where he has to submit a form. In first page while he select a button, he automatically select a course_id which will also submit inside the second page form. But How do i send the course_id from the first page button?
<li> <a href="{{route('registration')}}">A</a> </li>
<li> <a href="{{route('registration')}}" >B</a> </li>
When a user click on the button second page will appear ..Where I'm gonna submit a form where course_id will come from the first page means the <a> tag
Here is my form demo:
{!! Form::open(array('route' => 'postRegistration','class'=>'form-horizontal','method'=>'POST')) !!}
{!! Form::token(); !!}
{!! csrf_field() ; !!}
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only" for="form-first-name">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name..." class="form-first-name form-control" id="form-first-name">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only" for="form-email">Email</label>
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email..." class="form-email form-control" id="form-email">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only" for="form-last-name">Address</label>
<textarea rows="4" style="height:100px;" name="address" placeholder="Address..." class="form-last-name form-control" id="form-last-name"></textarea>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn">Submit</button>
{!! Form::close() !!}
In my database I have to submit the above field as well as the course_id from the database. How do I do it in Laravel?
Any suggestion or solution please?
You can send the variable as route parameter. To do this change your <a> tags like this.
<li> <a href="{{route('registration', ['course_id' => 'A'])}}">A</a> </li>
<li> <a href="{{route('registration', ['course_id' => 'B'])}}">B</a> </li>
Then you need to allow your registration route to take parameter. Suppose your route is like this
Route::get('/registration', [
'as' => 'registration', 'uses' => 'SomeController@method'
]);
Change it to
Route::get('/registration/{course_id}', [
'as' => 'registration', 'uses' => 'SomeController@method'
]);
Now you have to add this parameter into your SomeController@method
public method($course_id){ ... }
Now pass this $course_id to your form view. To submit this variable with your other fields you can add this as hidden input field.
<div class="form-group">
<input type="hidden" name="course_id" value="{{ $course_id }}">
</div>
According to me, you're looking for a type of web app in which when a user submits a form the page opens up with the registered user details. This can be done in Laravel like this:
routes.php
// For submitting form on this route
Route::post('users/register', 'UsersController@create')->name('users.register');
// For showing user's profile via user's id
Route::get('users/{id}/profile', 'UsersController@show')->name('users.profile');
UsersController.php
class UsersController {
public function create() {
$inputs = request()->all();
// Use Eloquent to save user info to DB and fetch insert id from DB...
return redirect()->route('users.profile', array('id' => $insert_id));
// Will open registered user profile page
}
public function show($id) {
$user = User::find($id);
if(!$user) {
abort('404');
}
return view('users/profile', compact('user'));
// At the users/profile.php page you can use $user variable to populate user's info
}
}
Usage of route method with passing data with route in Blade
{{ route('users.profile', array('id' => $user->id)) }}

Hope this helps you!
So you want to create page with multiple course links and each link redirects to registration page with the course id to be used in the registration form.
Your a href link should look like this
{!! link_to_route('registration',
$title = 'Course 1', $parameters = ['1'], $attributes =
['class'=>'btn btn-success']) !!}
Routes file web.php
Route::get('/registration/{course_id}','
CourseRegistration@showForm')->name('registration');
CourseController CourseController
public function showForm($course_id){
return view('registration')->with('courseid',$course_id);
}
Now you can access the course id with $courseid in view. If you want to pass it in form create a hidden or input tag with the data.
