Form submits as GET Laravel 4

Question

I have form like this

<form action="{{ Request::root() }}/articles/update/" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="id" value="{{ $article->id }}" />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

And route like this

Route::post('articles/update', array('as' => 'articleUpdate', 'uses' => 'ArticlesController@update'));

But when I submit the form, I get MethodNotAllowedHttpException. In error report I can see that request method is GET. I have also tried using caps for method method="POST" but it didn't work.

Any ideas?

the problem is more likely in laravel's configuration, if it `$_GET` your fields, it won't work if you `POST` them — Frederik.L, Jun 21 '13 at 17:16
I have another POST route that works. It was for login. But this one won't work — Vuk Stanković, Jun 21 '13 at 17:39

What does FireBug/Web console inspector show you? is the form being sent via GET or POST, any redirects?

Seems a redirection problem to me, after reaching the server Laravel redirects to the URL the form sent the post request.

It seems that I have "Moved permanently - 301" for POST request, and than same request with GET method that fails. – Vuk Stanković Jun 21 '13 at 17:29
Another thing I have noticed that it redirects without trailing slash although form action has trailing slash. Any ideas? – Vuk Stanković Jun 21 '13 at 17:33
Remove the trailing slash from the form and test again. If this is the problem then the `.htaccess` needs to ignore these redirections when POST information is received – Ast Derek Jun 21 '13 at 17:46
Works when I remove trailing slash. How should I edit `.htaccess` ? – Vuk Stanković Jun 21 '13 at 17:52
I needed to add to my `.env` file this `REDIRECT_HTTPS=false` and it fixed my issue – rotimi-best Jun 21 '20 at 18:35

you must use put method here. Form change like this

 {{Form::open(array('url'=>'/articles/update','method' => 'PUT'))}}

Routes like this

 Route::put('/articles/update','ArticlesController@update');
