votes

I have a Laravel 5.2 Practice application which is running with Laravel Serve running like this Laravel 5.2 Practice

Working Perfectly , The form blade is following

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('form')
<div class="col-md-4">
@if(count($errors)>0)
<div class="alert alert-danger">
    @foreach($errors->all() as $error)
        {{ $error }}
    @endforeach
</div>
@endif
<form action="/" method="post">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label>I want to</label>
        <select class="form-control" name="action">
            <option value="greet">Greet</option>
            <option value="hug">Hug</option>
            <option value="kiss">Kiss</option>
        </select>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label>this person</label>
        <input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" >
        <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success "> Do it! </button>
    </div>
  </form>
 </div>
 @endsection

With Following POST route entry in routes

Route::post('/', 'adminController@post');

Problem

When I run the same application using Wamp server instead of Laravel Server

Laravel 5.2 Practice Application

I press submit button, it takes me to localhost

Wamp Server Localhost

Is it possible to write a route entry which can perform in both situations, with and without Laravel Server running. ?

These are my routes

Route::get('/', [
  'uses' => 'adminController@index',
  'as'  => 'home'
]);
Route::get('/hug/{name?}', [
  'uses' => 'adminController@hug',
  'as'  => 'hug'
]);
Route::get('/kiss/{name?}', [
  'uses' => 'adminController@kiss',
  'as'  => 'kiss'
]);
Route::get('/form', [
  'uses' => 'adminController@form',
  'as'  => 'form'
]);

Route::post('/', 'adminController@post')->name('index'); 


Route::auth();

Route::get('/home', 'adminController@index');
Route::get('/logout',function(){
Auth::logout();
 return Redirect::to('/home');
});

This happens because you hard-coded the / in

<form action="/" method="post">

I highly recommend using Laravel Collective for your forms

You can open a form giving a route, not an absolute URL like this. Read the documentation. 

echo Form::open(['route' => 'route.name'])

Laravel Collective will solve all your issues like this. It has model binding and CSRF protection. Easy to use.

Hope this help.

If you don't want to use the form collections, in the form action, replace the action="/" to your route url:

<form action="your_post_url" method="post">
    <!-- protect your application from cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. -->
    {{ csrf_field() }}
    <!-- your form here -->
</form

To find the route url, you can use the command php artisan route:listin your console

Alright I have fixed it by doing following.

Route Entry

Route::post('/post', 'adminController@post')->name('post');

Form Open

<form action="{{ route('post') }}" method="post">

Previously the Route was pointing to /. I still have no idea why mentioning /post fixed it when I named the route to post, but its working now
