Error: 405 - Method not allowed while trying to update in Laravel - laravel

Question

Current, I am working on a project using Laravel-5.8. I have a code to update data:
Controller
public function store_external_respondent(StoreAppraisalRespondentExternalRequest $request)
{
$userCompany = Auth::user()->company_id;
$userEmployee = Auth::user()->employee_id;
DB::beginTransaction();
try {
$respondent = AppraisalRespondent::create([
'fullname' => $request->fullname,
'respondent_email' => $request->respondent_email,
'company_name' => $request->company_name,
'is_internal' => 1,
]);
DB::commit();
Session::flash('success', 'Appraisal Respondent created successfully');
return redirect()->route('appraisal.appraisal_respondents.index');
} catch (Exception $ex) {
DB::rollback();
Session::flash('error', 'Action failed! Please try again');
return back();
}
}
route/web.php:
Route::group(['prefix' => 'appraisal', 'as' => 'appraisal.', 'namespace' => 'Appraisal', 'middleware' => ['auth']], function () {
Route::post('appraisal/appraisal_respondents/update_external_respondent/{id?}', 'AppraisalRespondentsController#update_external_respondent')->name('appraisal_respondents.update_external_respondent');
});
When I did php artisan route:list, I got:
| | POST | appraisal/appraisal/appraisal_respondents/update_external_respondent/{id?} | appraisal.appraisal_respondents.update_external_respondent | App\Http\Controllers\Appraisal\AppraisalRespondentsController#update_external_respondent | web,auth

When I submitted, I got this error:
405
Method Not Allowed.
Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found. Go Back
In the console I have:
POST http://localhost:8888/myapp/appraisal/appraisal/appraisal_respondents/update_external_respondent/2 405 (Method Not Allowed)
How do I resolve this?
Also Why is appraisal repeated twice in
POST http://localhost:8888/myapp/appraisal/appraisal/appraisal_respondents/update_external_respondent/2 405 (Method Not Allowed)
Thanks

// STEP 2
<input name="_method" type="hidden" value="PUT">
So what's wrong?

Answer 2

please use {{method_field('check_your_route_type')}} below {{ csrf_field() }}
e.g : Route::put('url' ... should use {{method_field('PUT')}}
