I am using Laravel 8. I have the following search box in my blade file:
<form name="searchForm" class="col-12 col-lg-auto mb-3 mb-lg-0 me-lg-3" method="POST" action="{{ url('search') }}">
@csrf
<input name="searchField" type="search" class="form-control form-control-dark" style="width: 426px; " placeholder="Search for news, symbols, tickers or companies">
</form>
I route this to mySearchController:
public function showSearchPage(Request $request) {
$field = $request->searchField;
$name = Input::get('searchField');
.
.
.
However,$request->searchField is null. My$request object looks like the following:
Besides the token, my input field is not within therequest.
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
I appreciate your replies!
Change theform attribute of your form toid and try theform attribute on the input field.
Normally you shouldn't have to define either of those, you might try removing theid from your form and also theform from the input field.
It is possible that the initialform attribute on your form caused some trouble.
Let me know if the second approach also worked.
What I know is that, use form id when you need to perform a validation for a script or you have multiple forms in a single page, try changing your form attribute to id, or better if you completely remove it
for search form its better to use GET method instead of POST
and instead of
type="search"
used
type="text" (for test)
added id="searchField" to your input and changed type to text form search. should work
<form name="searchForm" class="col-12 col-lg-auto mb-3 mb-lg-0 me-lg-3" method="POST" action="{{ url('search') }}">
@csrf
<input name="searchField" id="searchField" type="text" class="form-control form-control-dark" style="width: 426px; " placeholder="Search for news, symbols, tickers or companies">
</form>
