i'm stuck at this very basic form, that i could not accomplish, which i want to build a search form with an text input, and two select controls, with a route that accept 3 parameters, the problem that when the i submit the form, it map the parameters with the question mark, not the Laravel way,
Markup
{{ Form::open(['route' => 'search', 'method' => 'GET'])}}
<input type="text" name="term"/>
<select name="category" id="">
<option value="auto">Auto</option>
<option value="moto">Moto</option>
</select>
{{ Form::submit('Send') }}
{{ Form::close() }}
Route
Route::get('/search/{category}/{term}', ['as' => 'search', 'uses' => '[email protected]']);
When i submit the form it redirect me to
search/%7Bcategory%7D/%7Bterm%7D?term=asdasd&category=auto
How can i pass these paramters to my route with the Laravel way, and without Javascript ! :D
The simplest way is just to accept the incoming request, and pull out the variables you want in the Controller:
and then in
[email protected]
:Usefully, you can set defaults in
Input::get()
in case nothing is passed to your Controller's action.As joe_archer says, it's not necessary to put these terms into the URL, and it might be better as a POST (in which case you should update your call to
Form::open()
and also your search route in routes.php -Input::get()
remains the same)
