Laravel 4 Form Post

Question

Im currently in the process of learning Laravel 4.

I'm trying to create a really simple post form, here is my code for the opening of the form:

{{ Form::open(array('post' => 'NewQuoteController@quote')) }}

And then within my NewQuoteController i have the following:

public function quote() {

   $name = Input::post('ent_mileage');
   return $name;

}

I keep getting the following error:

Symfony \ Component \ HttpKernel \ Exception \ NotFoundHttpException

It's probably something really stupid... Thanks.

EDIT

This is what I have in my routes.php

Route::get('/newquote','NewQuoteController@vehicledetails');

Route::post('/newquote/quote', 'NewQuoteController@quote');

For POST looks like you need to change it to:

{{ Form::open(array('action' => 'NewQuoteController@quote')) }}

And you need to have a route to your controller action:

Route::post('quote', 'NewQuoteController@quote');

Default method for Form::open() is POST, but if you need to change it to PUT, for example, you will have to

{{ Form::open(array('method' => 'PUT', 'action' => 'NewQuoteController@quote')) }}

And you'll have to create a new route for it too:

Route::put('quote', 'NewQuoteController@quote');

You also have to chage

$name = Input::post('ent_mileage');

to

$name = Input::get('ent_mileage');

You can use the same url for the different methods and actions:

Route::get('/newquote','NewQuoteController@vehicledetails');

Route::post('/newquote', 'NewQuoteController@quote');

Route::put('/newquote', 'NewQuoteController@quoteUpdate');

With the route you're also getting this error? Check the HTML generated. Get the <FORM> line and pastebin it, or edit your message.

NotFoundHttpException is a route not found error. So your open() must be generating a route different from those you have. Could you paste your HTML <FORM> line?

PUT? Are you doing POST or PUT?

Have you tried changing your form open to

{{Form::open(['method'=>'POST', 'route' =>'NewQuoteController@quote')}}

and in your controller access the form input using one of the Input methods ?

public function quote() {

    $name = Input::get('ent_mileage');

    return $name; 
}
