Use pagination in POST request.

I imagine your original post requests works fine but once you get the result set in other words the listing of results then it becomes get requests not a POST request. See. http://laravel.io/forum/11-13-2014-laravel-5-pagination This is 5.0, 5.1 will be different but you can get some ideas from this.

@jlrdw yeah, pagination links is just an a tag that can only send a GET request.Does Laravel provide some other mechanisms to pagine results set?

If you want to post using pagination you would have to use something like a session variable to store which page you are on and pass that each time. But passing that in the query string is standard practice even large sites like FedEx do it that way. You should study some basic crud examples.

@jlrdw I think maybe I can use GET request instead of POST request to achieve query function, and then use $object->appends(Input::query())->render() to pass that in pagination links.

Have you studied this page real good http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/pagination

Look at this very forum you are on, now when I edit or add a thread, look at the button, it says post your reply. So that is a post. Now when you are paging through the threads those would be get request. Likewise when you click on a thread it opens for viewing or editing. Normally in a table you would have a edit button but here you simply click on the thread.
Same difference normally the edit button or link is sent with get request. But after a successful update it is normally a POST request.

Something like this you send your post request to method in controller. Handle the request and pass the data to a different controller method to display the results paginates the will handle subsequent get requests.

At first in your route set resource method, then you can pass your key in your blade page thorough controller. Then in your controller you can use append method in your pagination link. Below i am giving you some example: Route::resource( '/search', 'BillingController@find' ); Controller: ->with( 'region', $region ) // key for you search

Blade: $regionList->appends(['region' => $region ])->render()
