Laravel's get method not working as expected

Question

I'm trying to add data from a form using get method but when I submit it the data doesn't show up in the url like this

addcustomers_token=vkmH0qnA6g2mfVcQzYUU3ZE0ZQvkQYs4DuCtKteX&company_name=Hebert Frank Inc&customer_name=Beau Nixon&customer_surname=Schneider&customer_phone1=19655489736&customer_phone2=16612429699&customer_phone3 =14871 428281&customer_email1=qycuhuva@mailinator.com&customer_score=2&customer_job=Doloribus facilis no&customer_gender=woman&customer_source=Tawk Canlı Destek&user_id=1&user_company_id=1&tag_id =1&company_id=1

But its display is like this

/Add customer

I want to add the record to the database and redirect back to /addcustomers url

What did i do wrong?

Answer 1

The reason you see /addcustomers in the URL is most likely because after submitting you have:

return redirect()->back()->with('success', true);

I assume your blade/html form submission page is on /addcustomers and after you submit it to /addcustomers2 it redirects back to /addcustomers code> due to the above code. You can confirm this by opening the Inspector on your browser and checking the Network tab (you may need to click an option to keep history). There you may see /addcustomers2 with all the parameters.

As others have said, you should use POST and rename your routes:

• GET /addcustomers -> GET /customers
• GET /addcustomers2 -> POST /customer
