Laravel 5.4.36 - post routing issues

I'm using Xampp and Laravel and my app is throwing the following error while I'm trying to make a post route:

ERROR

Declaration of App\Http\Controllers\HandleClient::validate() should be compatible with App\Http\Controllers\Controller::validate(Illuminate\Http\Request $request, array $rules, array $messages = Array, array $customAttributes = Array)

Form

<form action="{{route('handle')}}" method="POST">
    <label for="cn">Customer Name</label>
    <input type="text" name="cn" placeholder="Customer Name" />
    <input type="submit" value="Add Request"/>
    <input type="hidden" value="{{Session::token()}}" name="_token" />
</form>

Controller HandleClient.php:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class HandleClient extends Controller
{       
    public function validate(Request $request){
        return view('finish',$request);
    }   
}

web.php routes file:

<?php
Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
})->name('home');
Route::post('/Request_handled',[
    'uses'  => 'HandleClient@validate',
    'as'    => 'handle'
]);

By default, the base Controller class usesValidatesRequests which provides a validate function to the Controller class. Naming your function validate overrides this function.

Rename your function from validate to something else and update your route, then you shouldn't have a conflict anymore.
