|        | DELETE post/{post}        | post.destroy | postcontroller@destroy 

Now, i want to make a form html that will use PUT method. Here it is my codes:

<form class="col-md-12" action="<?php echo URL::to('/');?>/post/<?=$post->postID?>" method="put">
    <div class="form-group">
        <textarea type="text" class="form-control input-lg" placeholder="Text Here" name="post"><?=$post->post?></textarea>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block" type="submit" value="Edit">Edit</button>
    </div>
</form>     

But i doesn't work to submit the form into post.edit.

I Have googled and i got solution that i must use

{{form:...etc

But, i want the form still can done by CSS styling. Is there any solution guys? Thank You

Answer 1

You CAN add css clases, and any type of attributes you need to blade template, try this:

{{ Form::open(array('url' => '/', 'method' => 'PUT', 'class'=>'col-md-12')) }}
.... wathever code here
{{ Form::close() }}

If you dont want to go the blade way you can add a hidden input. This is the form Laravel does, any way:

Note: Since HTML forms only support POST and GET, PUT and DELETE methods will be spoofed by automatically adding a _method hidden field to your form. (Laravel docs)

<form class="col-md-12" action="<?php echo URL::to('/');?>/post/<?=$post->postID?>" method="POST">

<!-- Rendered blade HTML form use this hidden. Dont forget to put the form method to POST -->

<input name="_method" type="hidden" value="PUT">

<div class="form-group">
    <textarea type="text" class="form-control input-lg" placeholder="Text Here" name="post"><?=$post->post?></textarea>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
    <button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block" type="submit" value="Edit">Edit</button>
</div>
</form>     

Answer 2

If you are using HTML Form element instead Laravel Form Builder, you must place method_field between your form opening tag and closing end. By doing this you may explicitly define form method type.

<form>
{{ method_field('PUT') }}
</form>

Answer 3

Just use like this somewhere inside the form

@method('PUT')

Answer 4

Is very easy, you just need to use method_field('PUT') like this:

HTML:

<form action="{{ route('route_name') }}" method="post">
    {{ method_field('PUT') }}
    {{ csrf_field() }}
</form>

or

<form action="{{ route('route_name') }}" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT">
    <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
</form>

Regards!

Answer 5

in your view blade change to

{{ Form::open(['action' => 'postcontroller@edit', 'method' => 'PUT', 'class' = 'your class here']) }}

<div>
{{ Form::textarea('textareanamehere', 'default value here', ['placeholder' => 'your place holder here', 'class' => 'your class here']) }}
</div>

<div>
{{ Form::submit('Update', ['class' => 'btn class here'])}}
</div>

{{ Form::close() }}

actually you can use raw form like your question. but i dont recomended it. dan itulah salah satu alasan agan belajar framework, simple, dan cepat. so kenapa pake raw form kalo ada yang lebih mudah. hehe. proud to be indonesian.
