Laravel form action parameter

Question

I'm trying to call a controller method from a form object, to increment a given item.

The problem is that when adding the parameter, the form action will add a question mark, instead of a slash.

<form method="POST" action="http://localhost/admin/pages?1">

How am I to define the parameter?

{!! Form::open([
 'action'=>['Admin\\PagesController@increment', $item->id],
 'style' => 'display:inline'
]) !!}
 {!! Form::submit('Move Up', ['class' => 'btn btn-danger btn-xs']) !!}
{!! Form::close() !!}

• user2094178: Did you try Admin\PagesController@increment?

Answer 1

In you code sample, you are sending the item id as a HTTP GET parameter. You can access the item id in your controller by giving a name to the parameter as follows.

{!! Form::open([
 'action'=>['Admin\\PagesController@increment','itemId='.$item->id],
 'style' => 'display:inline'
]) !!}

Then access the item id in your controller by

Input:get('itemId')

• Zalon: Using the first option i get this error: Action App\Http\Controllers\/admin/pages/<?php echo e($item->id); ?> not defined Second options gives me an ErrorException: Array to string conversion
• madawa: @Zalon it seems that you cannot pass parameters with post requests. So you need to choose the second method. I edited the code. Refer this answer: stackoverflow.com/questions/31872422/…
• Zalon: I played around with it a bit, I ended up getting it to work by using: 'url' => ['admin/pages/'.$item->id.'/increment'], instead of action. Thanks a lot for your help

Your function shhould looks like this

public function increment($id) 
 {
 //your code;
 }

And your route should have id in it with post request

Route::post('increment/{id}','PagesController@increment');
