I've an update function for my Gamecontroller but it gets completely ignored when I call it and it just redirects to show view instead of executing the function despite calling it, am I missing something obvious?
Things I know and tried:
Every other function works in the GameController
I tried calling other functions like game.create and game.delete from that same view so I doubt it has to do with my view
I tried making the validate fail which got ignored because the function somehow doesn't get called
I tried just commenting the entire function and it did nothing didn't even give an error like it should
Checked to see if there was somehow a double function (there wasn't)
My update function in GameController class
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$validated = $request->validate([
'naam' => 'required|max:1',
'img' => 'required',
'formaat' => 'required',
'datum' => 'required',
'locatie' => 'required',
]);
if($validated->fails()){
return redirect()->back()->withErrors($validated);
}
DB::table('games')
->where('id', $id)
->update([
'naam' => $request->naam,
'img' => $request->img,
'formaat' => $request->formaat,
'datum' => $request->datum,
'locatie' => $request->locatie,
]);
return Redirect::to('games')
->with('success','Great! game updated successfully.');
}
My view:
<form action="{{ route('games.update',$data->id) }}" method="PUT" name="edit_games">
#csrf
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="form-group">
<strong>Naam</strong>
<input type="text" name="naam" class="form-control" value= "{{ $data->naam }}" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="form-group">
<strong>Pad van de afbeelding</strong>
<input type="text" name="img" class="form-control" value="{{$data->img}}" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="form-group">
<strong>Formaat</strong>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="formaat" value="{{$data->formaat}}" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="form-group">
<strong>Datum</strong>
<input type="date" class="form-control" name="datum" value={{$data->datum}}/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="form-group">
<strong>Locatie</strong>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="locatie" value="{{$data->locatie}}"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
The route in web
Route::resource('/games', 'GameController');

HTML Forms can only have GET or POST method used. You have defined the method attribute as PUT: method="PUT"; this will end up using the GET method, which would end you up at your show route. Change your method attribute to POST then add a hidden field named _method with the desired HTTP method (PUT) in your case. (Form method spoofing)
<form method="POST" ....>
{{ method_field('PUT') }}
method_field('PUT') will end up putting a hidden input into your form:
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT">
