I am trying to display information submitted from a form to create a message board. I am using php in the laravel framework. I am using a form, record, and repository. Whenever I try to display the content I receive the following error Symfony \ Component \ HttpKernel \ Exception \ MethodNotAllowedHttpException.
Here is the controller:
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
* GET /messages
*
* @return Response
*/
public function create()
{
return View::make('comments.create');
}
public function show($comment)
{
$message_id = $this->messageRepository->find($comment);
return View::make('comments.show')->with('comment', $message_id);
}
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
* POST /messaages
*
* @return Response
*/
public function store()
{
$data = Input::all() ;
$this->messageForm->validate($data);
$messageRecord = new MessageRecord;
$messageRecord->comment = $data['comment'];
Return "Comment created";
}
}
Here is the view causing the trouble:
<p>$comment</p>
I have not been using a route but I threw this together:
Route::resource('/message', 'MessageController');
It seems you use incorrect verb for route displaying this route. For display
you should probably use Route::get
and you probably use Route::post
. If it's not the issue you edit your question and put there routes.php
as you were asked in comment.
[Edit:]
If your store()
is already used by another form and you still have another form to send POST data then, you should declare another routes for that. Like
Route::post('message/display', ['as' => 'message.display', 'uses' => 'MessageController@display');
Sorry for my previous answer, show()
is for GET request and since you are using form you probably you don't need it unless you decide to send data through url. I'm extremely sorry.
[Edit ends]
You are getting that error because you are not allowed to use display()
in resourceful routing. Instead, you must use store()
. Since you are using laravel resourceful routing, you should follow the convention of laravel. In your command line, run
php artisan routes
You will get something like this,
GET|HEAD message | message.index | MessageController@index
GET|HEAD message/create | message.create | MessageController@create
POST message | message.store | MessageController@store
GET|HEAD message/{message} | message.show | MessageController@show
GET|HEAD message/{message}/edit | message.edit | MessageController@edit
PUT message/{message} | message.update | MessageController@update
PATCH message/{message} | | MessageController@update
DELETE message/{message} | message.destroy | MessageController@destroy
These are the methods, their route names and their corresponding HTTP request that you should use.
Check Laravel documentation for resourceful controller
For quick look,
index : Display a listing of the resource,
create : Show the form for creating a new resource,
store : Store a newly created resource in storage,
show : Display the specified resource,
edit : Show the form for editing the specified resource,
update : Update the specified resource in storage,
destroy : Remove the specified resource from storage
