I am using laravel 4.2 and I have the following issue:
My validation works properly at the Store
function but when i am using the same code to validate the data
at Update function the validator works but doesn't redirect correctly or showing the validation errors. to be more specific; at the update function the validator validates the data but when the validator fails instead of redirecting to the edit page with the validation errors ; redirects to the index page without saving the new data .Here is my code:
Model
public static $rules= array(
'location'=> 'required',
'price'=> 'required|numeric',
'info'=> 'required'
);
Controller (code for store)
public function store()
{
$v=Validator::make(Input::all(), Estate:: $rules);
if ($v->fails())
{
return Redirect ::route ('estates.create')
->withInput(Input::all())
->withErrors($v);
}
else
{
$userid = Auth::user()->getId();
$estate = new Estate;
$estate-> location = Input :: get('location');
$estate-> price = Input::get('price');
$estate-> info = Input::get ('info');
$estate->user_id = $userid;
$estate->save();
return Redirect::to('estates');
}
}
View for Create
{{Form::Open(array ('url'=>'estates')) }}
<div class="form-group {{$errors->has('location') ? 'has-error' : ''}}">
<label for="location">Location:</label>
<input type="string" name="location" value="{{{ Input::old('location') }}}" class="form-control">
{{$errors->first('location','<span class="help-block">:message</span>')}}
</div>
<div class="form-group {{$errors->has('price') ? 'has-error' : ''}}">
<label for="price">Price:</label>
<input type="string" name="price" value="{{{ Input::old('price') }}}" class="form-control">

</div>
<div class="form-group {{$errors->has('info') ? 'has-error' : ''}}">

<textarea input type ="text" class="col-md-12 input-block-level" rows="8" name="info" id="info" class="from-control">{{{ Request::old('info') }}}</textarea>
{{$errors->first('info','<span class="help-block">:message</span>')}}
