Route not working properly - laravel-5

Question

I have two route. First one not working and 2nd working. If I put 2nd route in first then its working and another not working.
Here is my route:
Route::any('/class',[
'uses'=> 'classroom#getclass',
'as'=>'class',]);
Route::any('/class',[
'uses'=> 'classroom#showclass',
'as'=>'class',]);
Here is my controller:
public function getclass(Request $request)
{
if (Input::has('post_comment'))
{
$status=Input::get('post_comment');
$commentBox=Input::get('comment_text');
$selectedStatus=Status::find($status);
$selectedStatus->comments()->create([
'comment_text'=>$commentBox,
'user_id'=>Auth::user()->id,
'status_id'=>$status
]);
Flash::message('Your comments has been posted');
return redirect(route('class'));
}
if(Input::has('status-text'))
{
$text=e(Input::get('status-text'));
$rules = [
'status_text'=>'required|string',
];
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), $rules);
if(Input::hasFile('status_image_upload'))
{
$rules['status_image_upload'] = 'image';
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), $rules);
if($validator->fails())
{
$image = $request->file('status_image_upload');
$imageName = str_random(8).'_'.$image->getClientOriginalName();
$image->move('status_images', $imageName);
$userStatus = new Status();
$userStatus -> status_text = $text;
$userStatus -> image_url = $imageName;
$userStatus -> type = 1;
$userStatus -> users_id = Auth::user()->id;
$userStatus -> save();
Flash::success('Your status has been posted');
return redirect(route('class'));
}
}
else if ($validator->fails())
{
$userStatus = new Status();
$userStatus -> status_text = $text;
$userStatus -> video_url = $request['video_url'];
$userStatus -> type = 2;
$userStatus -> users_id = Auth::user()->id;
$userStatus -> save();
Flash::success('Your status has been posted');
return redirect(route('classroom'));
}
}
return view('class',[
'posts'=>status::orderBy('id','DESC')->get()
]);}
Another one
public function showclass(Request $request)
{
$randomnumber = rand(50001,1000000);
$classrooms = new Classrooms();
$classrooms->class_name = $request['class_name'];
$classrooms->subject_name = $request['subject_name'];
$classrooms->section = $request['section'];
$classrooms->class_code = $randomnumber;
$classrooms -> user_id = Auth::user()->id;
$classrooms -> save();
return view('class', array('class' => Auth::user()) );
}
What Should to do now? i think my tow url is same that is the problem.If i am right then how can i solve this problem?

Answer 1

The issue is that you are using Route::any().
As the name suggests, it will accept any request (POST, GET, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) to the /class URI and process that with the given controller function.
In your case, when you have this first:
Route::any('/class',[
'uses'=> 'classroom#getclass',
'as'=>'class',]);
Any request to to /class is just being processed by getClass, including your form submission.
And it works fine when you put the other first as that is the first one being used.
Try changing Route::any() to the type of request they actually get.
For example, something like this:
Route::get('/class',[
'uses'=> 'classroom#getclass',
'as'=>'class',]);
Route::post('/class',[
'uses'=> 'classroom#showclass',
'as'=>'class',]);
** NOTE: you cannot use the same URI (e.g /class) for two of the same method types (e.g GET) as the first route would always match first and be used.
