From an HTML point of view, this is a no-no. The first result on google is a stack overflow question with a reasonable answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/379610/can-you-nest-html-forms

For the official answer: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/forms.html : "There can be several forms in a single document, but the FORM element can't be nested"

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish... it sounds like you're trying to have one button that deletes the image, and a second button that does something else?

I will hereby admit to being a complete Laravel noob, still going through the fundamentals videos, so please forgive my poor response from a Laravel point of view. But, this is an HTML-related question, really, so I hope I can help.

From an HTML point of view, you want something like this:

<input type="submit" name="update_button" value="Update" />
<input type="submit" name="delete_button" value="Delete" />

To Laravel-ize this, as I understand, you'd add something like this in your view:

{{ Form::submit('Update', array('class' => 'btn', 'name'=>'update_button')) }}
{{ Form::submit('Delete', array('class' => 'btn', 'name'=>'delete_button')) }}

There may well be a better Laravel way to do this, but I haven't gotten to that point in the tutorial yet. :)

Better yet, Google. Again.
