Laravel form inputs missing from request - laravel

Question

I have the following form:
<form action="{{ route('admin.blocks.store', [$page->id]) }}" method="post">
<fieldset>
<div>
<input id="block--page-id" name="page_id" type="text" disabled value="{{ $page->id }}">
<lable for="block--page-id">Page ID</lable>
</div>
<div>
<input id="block--name" name="name" type="text">
<label for="block--name">Name</label>
</div>
<div>
<input id="block--description" name="description" type="text">
<label for="block--description">Description</label>
</div>
<div>
<input id="block--key" name="key" type="text">
<label for="block--key">Key</label>
</div>
<div>
<textarea id="block--value" name="value">
</textarea>
<label for="block--value">Value</label>
</div>
<div>
<button type="submit">Create</button>
</div>
{{ csrf_field()}}
</fieldset>
With the following controller:
public function blocksStore(Request $request, $pageId)
{
$block = new PageBlock();
$block->page_id = $request->input('page_id');
$block->name = $request->input('name');
$block->description = $request->input('description');
$block->key = $request->input('key');
$block->value = $request->input('value');
$block->save();
return redirect('admin.pages.edit', [$pageId]);
}
However, my input for page_id doesn't get passed into the request. All the other inputs work fine so I'm unsure of what else could be wrong.

Answer 1

Because the element is disabled, it will not be submitted. So, change it to type="hidden":
<input id="block--page-id" name="page_id" type="hidden" value="{{ $page->id }}">

Answer 2

Change your form action to :
<form action="{{ route('admin.blocks.store', ['page_id'=> $page->id]) }}" method="post">
It assumes your route definition is :
Route::post('/your_url/{page_id}', 'SomeController#store')->name('admin.blocks.store');
And in your controller code, you don't need to get $pageId from request as it is already there as a route parameter.
public function blocksStore(Request $request, $pageId)
{
$block = new PageBlock();
$block->page_id = $pageId;
$block->save();
return redirect('admin.pages.edit', [$pageId]);
}
