I just started laravel . I was able to fetch the data from mysql table but i was unable to post data. I am confused on defining route for post url
MODEL : Entry.php
<?php
class Entry extends Eloquent {
/**
* The database table used by the model.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $table = 'entries';
}
CONTROLLER :EntriesController.php
class EntriesController extends BaseController {
# Handles "GET /" request
public function getIndex()
{
return View::make('home')->with('entries', Entry::all());
}
# Handles "POST /" request
public function postIndex()
{
// get form input data
$entry = array(
'username' => Input::get('frmName'),
'email' => Input::get('frmEmail'),
'comment' => Input::get('frmComment'),
);
// save the guestbook entry to the database
Entry::create($entry);
return Redirect::to('/');
}
}
VIEW : entry.blade.php
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Laravel Guestbook</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
@foreach($entries as $entry)
<p>{{ $entry->comment }}</p>
<p>Posted on {{ $entry->created_at }} by
<a href="mailto:{{ $entry->email }}">{{ $entry->username}}</a>
</p><hr />
@endforeach
<form action="submit/" method="POST">
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td><input type="text" name="frmName" value="" size="30" maxlength="50"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email</td>
<td><input type="text" name="frmEmail" value="" size="30" maxlength="100"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Comment</td>
<td><textarea name="frmComment" rows="5" cols="30"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
<input type="reset" name="reset" value="reset"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
ROUTES
Route::get('/', 'EntriesController@getIndex');
Route::get('submit', 'EntriesController@postIndex');
On homepage i can easily pull the records from db but when i try to post new record it will show the error
Symfony \ Component \ HttpKernel \ Exception \ NotFoundHttpException
You are using blade, you can start using the blade syntaxis which will make it probably a lot more easy to create your forms.
{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'submit')) }}
// The 'url' => 'submit' wil refer to your route and fetch your postFunction you made.
// You can here setup your form components...
{{ Form::close() }}
A reference for creating the components:
Note: Don't forget to use the Laravel validators when checking your input in your controller.
