Be part of JetBrains PHPverse 2026 on June 9 – a free online event bringing PHP devs worldwide together.
I am following the forum series from Jeffrey and decided to change things up a little and make my own project out of it. I have changed plenty things, such as routes and I am using tags instead of channels.
requisitions.blade.php
<form class="btn-group" action="{{ route('requisitions.unapproved', ['id' => $submitapplication->id]) }}" method="post">
{{ method_field('PATCH') }}
{{ csrf_field() }}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger btn-xs">UnApprover</button>
</form>
RequisitionController
public function unapproved(Request $request, $submitApplication)
{
$submitApp = SubmitApplication::findOrFail($submitApplication);
$submitApp->approved = 0;
$submitApp->save();
return redirect()->back();
}
web.php
$this->get('requisitions/unapproved', 'RequisitionController@unapproved')->name('requisitions.unapproved');
I get this error
No query results for model [App\SubmitApplication] unapproved
you pass the "id" parameter to the route:
route('requisitions.unapproved', ['id' => $submitapplication->id])
so then you have to get this id from the request
public function unapproved(Request $request)
{
$submitApp = SubmitApplication::findOrFail($request->id);
$submitApp->approved = 0;
$submitApp->save();
return redirect()->back();
}
tou need a placeholder in the route for the submitApplication id that you are trying to pass
$this->get('requisitions/unapproved/{id}', 'RequisitionController@unapproved')->name('requisitions.unapproved');
and then use id in the controller
public function unapproved(Request $request, $id)
{
$submitApp = SubmitApplication::findOrFail($id);
$submitApp->approved = 0;
$submitApp->save();
return redirect()->back();
}
And dont forget you need to check WHO is setting the approved flag
Moreover, you have to pay attention at the http method you are using. In the html form you send a post request, but in the routes you accept a get request.
your route needs to be PATCH and not get
