routes

{{Form::open(['route'=>['comments.store',$post->id],'method'=>'POST'])}}

does this work?

{{Form::open(['route'=>[route('comments.store',$post->id)],'method'=>'POST'])}}

no @vapenation it still does not work. Route [http://127.0.0.1:8000/comments/4] not defined. (View: /opt/lampp/htdocs/laravel/blog/resources/views/blog/single.blade.php)

this is my route i am using->| | POST | comments/{$post_id} | comments.store | App\Http\Controllers\CommentsController@store

<?php $titleTag=htmlspecialchars($post->title);?>
@section('title',"|$titleTag")
@section('content')

<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-2">
    <h1>{{$post->title}}</h1>

@anmol I'm confused. Your talking about routes but your listing a Form::open which is part of laravelcollective/html package

Assuming that you pulled in this package and you are using blade the syntax would be

{!! Form::open(['route' => ['comments.store', $post->id]]) !!}

The laravel collective html assumes it is post when using Form::open

@codenex let me make it a little more clear.i made a route and it was successfully created as i can see iit from the terminal. now when i want to use it in my comments section and i use form helpers to call the route you can look into my code that i just commented here.it is showing not found error.so the error is not about route it has something to the way it is being called,i suppose.

when i click the submit button it shows this error.before that everything works fine.

@anmol You stated in your initial my route file is Route::post('comments/{$post_id}',['uses'=>'CommentsController@store','as'=>'comments.store']);

I'm just saying that's not your route file. That is in your blade file. Secondly you are either using a way old version of Laravel or using the Laravel Collective HTML package of which neither was mentioned.

If you are using the Laravel Collective package your syntax is incorrect which may be why it's not working. I posted you the correct syntax. Check that and see if it fixes your issue. If not let me know what it shows in your URL field after you click the submit button.

Open your network tools in your browser then press submit. This will tell us if it is the form or the routing.

Look at the first entry that appears after you press submit. It will tell you the URL and the method (get or post)

The docs say Form::open(['route' => ['route.name', $user->id]]) so your form looks ok, but I don't use it myself as I find it a waste of time.

@Snapey Oh yeah looks like I was looking at @vapenation response. I have a hard time putting together fragmented data, lol. In either case for the form portion you don't need the post method as it is assumed by default. But as is it is it should work.

{{ Form::open(['route' => ['comments.store', $post->id]]) }}

What I am noticing is that if we check a resource controller the post route does't actually take a parameter at the store method. So I guess the next question is how is the store method on your controller setup?

@snapey method=POST url=http://127.0.0.1:8000/comments/4 adress=127.0.0.1:8000 status:404 not found. file=4 cause=document.

@codenex i tried using the fixed version of the code but it gave a similar error.

@anmol reread my latest...

In the same browser tools look at the fields sent to the server. In the request you can see each posted field

If there is a field _method then this means Laravel is being told to put or patch instead of post and your route needs to reflect the same.

these are the request fields @Snapey y request url:http://127.0.0.1:8000/comments/4 request method:POST remote adress:127.0.0.1:800 status code:not found404.

@codenex no the new code does not work as well.

@Snapey when i was migrating my migration file,i had an error but since it got migrated in he database so i ignored it for an instance.can that have something to do with it???because it is using a foreign key constraint post_id.

@anmol if you posted the fields, I cannot see them.

They are in the post request. In Chrome, click on the entry on the left hand panel, then on the right, select 'headers' then scroll to the bottom to see form data.

If you cannot do that post the source code from your browser (now your view file.

No, very unlikely to be the migration

@Snapey this is the source code.does it help???

Big apology here........

So your source code looks fine. I cannot see any hidden _method field, so the issue must be with the route.

I go back to page 1 and look at your original post

my route file is Route::post('comments/{$post_id}',

BAM!

You should not have the $ in the route

aargh!

Change it to

my route file is Route::post('comments/{post_id}',

Sometimes you just need to have a break and come back and look at something with fresh eyes.

FatalThrowableError in CommentsController.php line 44: Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Comment' not found

@Snapey i think that problem have solved been plz for once look at my controller file as well.i have made a mess out of everything.

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Post;
use Session;

class CommentsController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.

    }

    /**

    public function store(Request $request,$post_id)
    {
        $this->validate($request,array(
        'name'=>'required|max:255',
        'email'=>'required|email|max:255','comment'=>'required|min:5|max:2000'));
        $post=Post::find($post_id);

        $comment= new Comment();
        $comment->name=$request->name;
        $comment->email=$request->email;
        $comment->comment=$request->comment;
        $comment->approved=true;
        $comment->post()->associate($post);
        $comment->save();
        Session::flash('success','Comment was added');
       return redirect()->route('blog.single',[$post->slug]);

    }
