Laravel Send URL parameter as hidden input

Question

I'm confused or been to much in the sun, I have the following situation when editing a product

http://app.dev/shops/1/products/2/edit

I added the /shops/1 in the URL because I need to know for what Shop I'm editing the Product.

Now in the Controller I need to know what Shop and Product we're talking about here. I'm using the following hidden input field to send the product_id to the update Controller

<input type="hidden" name="product" value="{{ $product->id }}">

But how do I get the shop_id to the Update Controller. What's the best way to go about this?

Thank you!

<input type="hidden" name="shop" value="{{ $shop->id }}"> and get product and shop values in controller — Bilal Ahmed

@BilalAhmed the $shop variable isn't available in this view. It's an edit product view. — Miguel Stevens

route file

Route::get('/shops/{shopid}/products/{productid}' , 'testController@gettest');

In controller

Input::get('shops');
Input::get('products');

and also check this

Route::get('/', function(){

    echo Input::get('shops');
    echo Input::get('products');
});

laravel way

 {{ Request::segment(3) }}

will give you the id and you can pass it either in hidden input or as you want

PHP way

$actual_link = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";

$shop = explode('/', $actual_link);
$shop_id = $shop[1/2/3 or 4];

//depending in which position the shop id is coming, you can check it by printing $shop

I have a feeling that when using the Request::segment'ish things that my data is wrong or my url isn't being built correctly. doesn't seem best practice, don't know why

So you have a route similar to this

Route::post('/shops/{shop_id}/products/{product_id}/edit' , 'TestController@edit');

And in your controller you can simply use. Now you have both ids and can do what you want.

public function edit($shop_id, $product_id) {
    //do what you want
}
