The POST method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: GET, HEAD

Question

I am getting this error on form submission: The POST method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: GET, HEAD. Here is the form code:

<form action="bid" method = "POST" >
    @csrf
    <h2>
        Your Bid
    </h2>
    <h4 style="font-size:15px;color:antiquewhite">Days</h4>
                                    <input type="number" name="days" placeholder=" Your Days to complete project" class="form-input"><br />
                                    <h4 style="font-size:15px;color:antiquewhite">Cost</h4>
                                    <input type="number" name="cost" placeholder="Your bid cost in $ doller" class="form-input"><br />
                                    <button class="btnn-U" type="submit">Send</button>

</form>

and here is the Route code:

Route::post('bid','App\Http\Controllers\register@bid');

I have tried using php artisan route:cache

@Foobar I read that it solved this problem sometimes so I did it — , Dec 16 '22 at 07:56
can you try "php artisan route:list | grep bid" and add a screenshot to the question? — Alper, Dec 16 '22 at 07:59
I would start with using named routes and don't hardcode form actions. `action="{{ route('bid') }}"` (and add a name to the route) — Gert B., Dec 16 '22 at 08:00

The first thing, a recommendation, write your routes like this and give your route any name;

Route::post('bid','App\Http\Controllers\register@bid');

to

Route::post('bid',[\App\Http\Controllers\register::class, 'bid'])->name('uniqueRouteName');

And call this route with name;

<form action="{{ route('uniqueRouteName') }}" method = "POST" >
        @csrf
        <h2>
            Your Bid
        </h2>
        <h4 style="font-size:15px;color:antiquewhite">Days</h4>
        <input type="number" name="days" placeholder=" Your Days to complete project" class="form-input"><br />
        <h4 style="font-size:15px;color:antiquewhite">Cost</h4>
        <input type="number" name="cost" placeholder="Your bid cost in $ doller" class="form-input"><br />
        <button class="btnn-U" type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

Please add some explanation to your answer such that others can learn from it — Nico Haase, Dec 16 '22 at 08:18
@talha This made the problem even worse. ``` Route [projectBid] not defined.``` — , Dec 16 '22 at 08:37
@RehmanAli did you add the route name to the route and did you run `php artisan route:clear` ? This is the correct solution. — Gert B., Dec 16 '22 at 11:34

<form action="/bid" method = "POST" > Tried different things but ultimately this solved my problem.

Might work, but is not a good solution. Hardcoded routes are a bad idea – Gert B. Dec 16 '22 at 11:37
