Laravel Variable Variable from Forms

Question

I am new to Laravel and follow a super-basic tutorial. However, the tutorial did not have a record editing section, which I am trying to expand.

Route:

Route::controller('admin/products', 'ProductsController');

Controller:

class ProductsController extends BaseController
{ 

public function getUpdate($id)
    {
        $product = Product::find($id);

        if ($product) {
            $product->title = Input::get('title');
            $product->save();
            return Redirect::to('admin/products/index')->with('message', 'Product Updated');
        }
        return Redirect::to('admin/products/index')->with('message', 'Invalid Product');
}

..ECT...

I understand that the controller is requesting an identifier, but I cannot figure out how to pass the product identifier to it when the form is submitted / received.

the form:

{{Form::open(array("url"=>"admin/products/update",'method' => 'get', 'files'=>true))}}
    <ul>
        <li>
            {{ Form::label('title', 'Title:') }}
            {{ Form::text('title') }}
            {{ Form::hidden('id', $product->id) }}

 ..ECT...

{{ Form::close() }}

my initial idea was to pass in the product id as a URL, for example:

{{Form::open(array("url"=>"admin/products/update/{{product->id}}", 'files'=>true))}}

But no luck with that.

The error I get is:

Missing argument 1 for ProductsController::postUpdate()

I wonder if I type directly into the url:

http://localhost/laravel/public/admin/products/update/3

This works, and the element with id 3 is changed.

So can someone help and tell me how to pass the id with the form?

Many thanks

:

{{Form::open(array("url"=>"admin/products/update/{{product->id}}", 'files'=>true))}}

{{product->id}} :

• {{$product->id}}
• , {{..}} {{Form::...}} , , , .

:

{{Form::open(array("url"=>"admin/products/update/".$product->id, 'files'=>true))}}

routes.php :

{{Form::open(array('route' => array('route.name', $product->id, 'files'=>true)))}}

.
