Question

I know browsers only support POST and GET requests, and Laravel supports PUT requests using the following code:

Answer 1

PUT usually refers to update request.

When you open a form inside laravel blade template using,

{{ Form::open('/path/', 'PUT') }}

It would create a hidden field inside the form as follows,

In order for you to process the PUT request inside your controller, you would need to create a method with a put prefix,

for example, putMethodName()

so if you specify,

{{ Form::open('controller/methodName/', 'PUT') }}

inside Form:open. Then you would need to create a controller method as follows,

class Controller extends BaseController {
    public function putMethodName()
    {
        // put - usual update code logic goes here
    }
}
