Can you post your store method from the controller and a snippet of one of the fields that doesn't get filled out?

I don't have any experience with FormRequests, but I had the same issue recently.

Check that you don't have a 301 redirect (Laravel does this if you have a trailing slash on the form action URL, and sends you to the non-slashed version) as by the time the request has redirected, the Flash message will have gone.

This tripped me up a few weeks ago - I eventually spotted it by looking in the JS console and spotting the 301 redirect message in the Network panel.

Caveat: at least I think this was what was happening!

In my case the server replies with error code 302.

form action url : method="post" action="{{ url('/request-a-repair')}}"

Laravel doesn't fill out form fields automatically. You'll need to either use a package for building forms (like illuminate/html, or laravelcollective/html), or fill in form values with old() method:

<textarea class="form-control" rows="2" id="address" name="address" placeholder="Your Address">{{old('address')}}</textarea>
<input name="example" value="{{old('example')}}" />

I added that value parameter value= "{{old('example'}}" but the value comes to be empty when i see the source page of the view. Why is it empty? something to do with redirection?. I get server status 302 error.

That's probably what I meant :)

form action url : method="post" action="{{ url('/request-a-repair')}}"

Looks like this won't be your issue then. Good luck in working it out

@Nikhilkumar13,

Watch this episode of Laracasts on Forms.

Thanks! This post was very helpful, I didn't know we have helpers like old('field_value') to us. That's perfect. =) Good week to everybody, cheers!
