I have a form which is divided into 2 parts. The first part of the form is displayed with "GET" request when the user clicks a button. when the user fills this form and clicks next, the page is redirected to the next part of the form with a "POST" request which first saves the form and then displays the next part. The problem is when i try to validate the 2nd part of the form, laravel gives and error saying method not allowed.
my first controller:
public function create(Request $request)
{
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'unit_code' => 'max:25',
'unit_title' => 'max:255',
'project_title' => 'max:255',
'project_ref_number' => 'max:255',
'storage_location' => 'required|max:255',
'keeper_name' => 'required|max:255',
]);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return redirect()->back()
->withErrors($validator)
->withInput();
}
$notification = Notification::create([
'unit_code' =>$request->unit_code,
'unit_title' =>$request->unit_title,
'project_title' =>$request->project_title,
'project_ref_number'=>$request->project_ref_number,
'storage_location' =>$request->storage_location,
'keeper_name' =>$request->keeper_name,
'user_id' =>Auth::user()->id
]);
return view('Notification.notification_for_lmo')->with('notification', $notification);
//return redirect()->route('show.material_List')->with('notification');
}
routes:
/*route to personal information form for notification*/
Route::get('/personal_information_notification_form', 'HomeController@getNotificationForm');
/*submit personal information and go to next part of the form*/
Route::post('personal_information_notification_form/submit/', 'NotificationController@create')->name('submit.personal_info_for_notification');
/*route to material list form for notification application*/
Route::get('personal_information_notification_form/material_list/', 'NotificationController@showMaterialListForm')->name('show.material_List');
/*submit the material list*/
Route::post('/personal_information_notification_form/add_lmo/', 'NotificationTypeAController@create')->name('submit.add_lmo');
2nd controller:
public function create(Request $request)
{
/*this loop is because im adding rows dynamically to the table*/
$count = count($request->input('item_name'));
for ($i=0; $i<$count; $i++){
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'material_type' => 'required|max:25',
'item_name' => 'required|max:255',
'risk_level' => 'required|max:255',
'quantity' => 'required|max:255',
'volume' => 'required|max:255',
'notification_id' => 'required|max:255',
]);
}
if ($validator->fails()) {
return view('Notification.notification_for_lmo')->withErrors($validator)->withInput();
}
for ($i=0; $i<$count; $i++){
$data = NotificationTypeA::create([
'material_type' =>$request->material_type[$i],
'item_name' =>$request->item_name[$i],
'risk_level' =>$request->risk_level[$i],
'quantity' =>$request->quantity[$i],
'volume' =>$request->volume[$i],
'notification_id'=>$request->notification_id
]);
}
$admin = Admin::find(1);
$user = Auth::user();
$notification = Notification::find($request->notification_id);
$admin->notify(new NewNotificationApplicationSubmitted($user->name, $notification->id));
return redirect()->route('show.go_to_notification')->with('message', 'We have notified '.$user->name.' that he/she is added to SSBC')->with('status', 'info');
}
In the second controller, there is a for loop because the user fills the data in a table form. (the blade file is big so i am not posting it here.)
What is the problem with this and why is this happening?
