[SOLVED] Why does my Laravel form return a 405 'Method Not Allowed' error when I submit it?

Why does my Laravel form return a 405 'Method Not Allowed' error when I submit it?

I'm trying to submit a form in my Blade template to the patient/update route using the POST method. In my controller, I want to inspect the submitted data using dd($request).

However, when I click the "Save" button, I get this error:

405 Method Not Allowed

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. How can I properly send the form data to the controller?

"The GET method is not supported for this route."

I’ve double-checked that my form is using the POST method. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

View: blade

<form action="{{ route('patient/update') }}" metdod="post">
    @csrf
    <!-- Form contents -->
    <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Save">
</form>

Route: web.php

Route::post('/patient/update', 'PatientController@update')->name('patient/update');

Controller: PatientController

public function update(Request $request)
{
    dd($request);
}

What could be causing Laravel to think this is a GET request, and how can I fix it?

Solution

The issue is in the very first line of your Blade file, where you misspelled "method":

<form class="" action="{{ route('patient/update') }}" metdod="post">
                                                      ^^^^^^

Without a valid method attribute in the form tag, the request will default to a GET.
