How do i update the content in my database? - laravel

Question

I am trying to update values I got from the database but it seems not to be going to the routes function
I tried changing the routes method and even die down the request but it seems not to work
Here is the route
Route::put("/users/bonus/update/{id}",
[
"uses" => "AdminDashboardController#updatebonus",
"as"=> "userbonus.mer"
]);
below is the function that is been called to update
public function updatebonus(Request $request, $id)
{
if (auth()->user()->isAdmin != 1) {
return redirect()->route('home');
} else if (auth()->user()->isAdmin == 1) {
$bonus=OtherBonus::where('id','=','$id')->first();
$bonus->card_bonus=trim(strip_tags($request['cbonus']));
$bonus->monthly_bonus=trim(strip_tags($request['mbonus']));
$bonus->travelling_bonus=trim(strip_tags($request['tbonus']));
$bonus->festival_bonus=trim(strip_tags($request['fbonus']));
$bonus->save();
return redirect()->back()->with("success", "Bonus Settings
Successfully updated");
}
}
below is the form that passes the data to the function which communicates with the database.
<form class="form-horizontal form-label-left" action="{{route('userbonus.mer', ['id'=>$bonus['id']])}}" method="PUT">
<span class="section">General Bonus in %age</span>
<div class="item form-group">
<label class="control-label col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12" for="cbonus">Card
Bonus <span class="required">*</span>
</label>
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">

Answer 1

The HTML form doesn't accept PUT as method. It only works with GET and POST. Have a look here. So if you write
<form method="PUT"></form>
you're going to submit the form as a GET request. Laravel listens for a specific input that has to present after form submission in order to recognize the PUT method. Have a look at the official documentation
HTML forms do not support PUT, PATCH or DELETE actions. So, when defining PUT, PATCH or DELETE routes that are called from an HTML form, you will need to add a hidden _method field to the form. The value sent with the _method field will be used as the HTTP request method:
<form action="/foo/bar" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
</form>
You may use the #method Blade directive to generate the _method input:
<form action="/foo/bar" method="POST">
#method('PUT')
#csrf
</form>

Try This
public function updatebonus(Request $request, $id)
{
if (auth()->user()->isAdmin != 1) {
return redirect()->route('home');
} else if (auth()->user()->isAdmin == 1) {
$bonus=OtherBonus::find($id);
$bonus->update([
'monthly_bonus'=>$request->mbonus,
'travelling_bonus'=>$request->tbonus,
'festival_bonus'->$request->fbonus;
]);
return redirect()->back()->with("success", "Bonus Settings
Successfully updated");
}
}
And BLADE FILE JUST CHANGE METHOD TO post & and after this add {{method_field('PUT')}}
{{csrf_field()}}
<form class="form-horizontal form-label-left" action="{{route('userbonus.mer', ['id'=>$bonus['id']])}}" method="post">
{{method_field('PUT')}}
{{csrf_field()}}
<span class="section">General Bonus in %age</span>
<div class="item form-group">
<label class="control-label col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12" for="cbonus">Card
Bonus <span class="required">*</span>
</label>
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<input class="form-control col-md-7 col-xs-12"
value="{{$bonus['card_bonus']}}" name="cbonus"
placeholder="10.00%" required="required" type="text">
</div>
</div>
<div class="item form-group">
<label class="control-label col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12" for="fbonus">Festival
Bonus<span class="required">*</span>
</label>
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<input type="text" name="fbonus" required="required"
value="{{$bonus['festival_bonus']}}"
class="form-control col-md-7 col-xs-12" placeholder="34.6%">
</div>
</div>
<div class="item form-group">
<label class="control-label col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12" for="mbons">Monthly
Bonus <span class="required">*</span>
</label>
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<input type="text" id="email" name="mbonus" required="required"
value="{{$bonus['monthly_bonus']}}" placeholder="56.9%"
class="form-control col-md-7 col-xs-12">
</div>
</div>
<div class="item form-group">
<label class="control-label col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12" for="tbonus">Travelling
Bonus <span class="required">*</span>
</label>
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<input type="text" id="email" name="tbonus" placeholder="0.89%"
value="{{$bonus['travelling_bonus']}}" required="required"
class="form-control col-md-7 col-xs-12">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<button type="reset" class="btn btn-primary">Reset</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
In Route make it post
