View source in the browser and look for the form tag..
Check the URL. It should end in the ID. Is that working?

Undefined variable user: view
I'm using laravel 5.3 and I keep getting an error saying undefined variable once I try and log in or click on edit profile. If I manually put "myapp.dev/profit/edit/1" in my browser it works but if I click on the edit profille link I'm only seeing "myapp.dev/profit/edit" in the URL. I've been at this for two days. Any help would be appreciated.
My routes:
Route::get('/profile/edit/{id}', 'ProfileController@getEdit');
Route::post('/profile/edit/{id}', 'ProfileController@postEdit');
My controller:
public function getEdit($id){
$user= User::findOrFail($id);
return view('profile.edit', compact('user'));
}
My view:
<li><a href="{{ url('/profile/edit', $user->id ) }}">Update profile</a></li>
My form:
{!! Form::model($user,['method' => 'POST', 'action'=>['ProfileController@postEdit', $user- >id]]) !!}
Level 1
Yes when I look at the source for the edit form the action is ending with the ID.
Level 1
Could the issue be because i;m passing he variable to my profile.edit and not my navigation where the it says the error is at? My profie.edit extends the navigation layout.
Level 122
What does postEdit() look like?
Level 1
Currently it's empty. I was working on the getPost() first
Level 122
sorry i was confused by you posting your form code. This is not relevant then?
So you have a simple link that goes to the edit page?
just check the url generated in the link. You know the get method works because you have already tested it.
Level 1
Yes the URL that;s generated is myapp.dev/profile/edit. The variable is what's missing. Everything looks correct. Seems like i've tried everything,
Level 4
change the method in the view and route to patch or put since you are binding the model and want to update.
Level 122
url second parameter should be an array. try
<li><a href="{{ url('/profile/edit', [ $user->id ]) }}">Update profile</a></li>
Level 1
@MWDeveloper I tried that put still undefined but shouldn't i be get since I;m just trying to retrieve the form?
Level 1
@Snapey Tried that and still undefined
Level 122
so is $user set?
Level 1
Is it possible that the variable wont be made available to the parent template unless I specifically tell it to be like: @extends('master', ['user' => $user]) ?
Level 1
@Snapey $User is set in my ProfileController as you can see with my initial post.
Level 122
i would dd user immediately before the url method
Level 1
@Snapey When I do that I still get the error but if I type in the correct URL(myapp.dev/profile/edit/1) it shows me the array with the users information
Level 122
still get the error
still get what error?
Level 1
@snapey User undefined
Level 1
@Snapey is the $user variable available to the navigation layout since I'm passing it to the profile edit with. The profile/edit does extend that layout though. The error I get is
C:\xampp\htdocs\Myapp\resources\views\layouts\partials\navigation.blade.php)
Level 4
@Slillz call the route using route instead of url or try this url('/profile/edit/'.$user->id '
use the concatenation
Level 122
when posting and you have a specific error then it helps to say where in the code, method, line number etc
it should be accessible in the layout but when I asked you to dd the value just before it is used you said the error still occurred which means it's happening before that point?
Level 1
@Snapey Here is my exact error...
Undefined variable: user (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\Myapp\resources\views\layouts\partials\navigation.blade.php) (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\Myapp\resources\views\layouts\partials\navigation.blade.php) (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\Myapp\resources\views\layouts\partials\navigation.blade.php)
I agree that it must be happening before that point.
Level 1
Once I started with the form binding is where the issue started.
Level 4
@Slillz have you tried this ?
url('/profile/edit/'.$model->id)
Level 1
@MWDeveloper I've tried that but still nothing. As Snapey said I think the issue is before that since the DD gives an error as well.
Level 1
Now as soon as I sign in I get an error but one I remove that href from the navigation blade the site works fine except for that profile edit.
Level 122
if you change $user->id for Auth::user()->id
Level 1
Yea that still didn't work. As you've stated earlier, something else is going on. I notice now I'm getting undefined variable:user my userblock layout. This previously worked fine. Not sure what's going on now. My $user variable isn't being recognized on any view.
Level 13
in master layout. dont include navigation.blade.php instead of this just @yeild('nav') after this just @extende('navigation) @include('navigation') @stop where u want actually even I don't know why not passing this in my master blade when I Directly include navigation in master but when i use @yeild its worked for me. just try once may be its help
Level 1
First check is $user->id has value or not for this use dd($user->id).
If has a value then use
{{ url('/profile/edit/'.$user->id ) }}
