your Formdata must be an <input> tag, and have a name="fName"

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not 100% I'm following you.

This is the code for my form

<form action="#" method="POST" id="reportForm"> <input type="hidden" class="form-control" name="id" id="id"> <input type="text" class="form-control" name="fName" id="fName"> <input type="text" class="form-control" name="status" id="status"> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-lg btn-success "><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-floppy-disk"></span> Save</button> </form>

Are saying I need to add an addition input type in there?

Anyone have some more examples maybe?

still struggling with this peeps :(

There’s a lot going on here so it’s hard to follow – I’d try breaking it down bit by bit until it works. Few observations...

• You’ve got processData: false set in the AJAX request, is this effecting the data?
• If you take away all the JavaScript, does it work?
• Not sure what FormData() is or how it works, so that could be doing something unexpected?
• In your Controller, you have a few instances of $report -> heading = Input::get('fName'); which I’m not sure will work as it shouldn’t have spaces when chaining, so it should be $report->heading, so it’s possible that your page is just getting a 500 and not returning anything.

Hope that gets you started.
