Hello,
For some reason or another I don't seem to be able to access the Posted data in my Controller. If I append FormData with with the input values, e.g.
formData.append('fName', $('#fName').val());
I can then access
Input::get('fName');
But I don't believe this should be necessary? As I've seen lots of examples that don't seem to do this.. So I'm guessing I'm missing something here?

Thanks for you help in advance, I'm new to Laravel, but loving it so far! Although I do seem to have a lot of questions :)
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?
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: falseset 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.
Amazing thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I followed instructions from here (http://hayageek.com/jquery-ajax-form-submit/) and it seems to be working great now :)
