In your TutorialController I am assuming that $input is an array that does not contain _method because that would be a silly bug to still have in the core Input class. So that leaves the only thing I can think of being that where your injecting Tutorial into the update method of your TutorialController the IoC is adding the _method to the models properties.

I'd suggest checking the changed properties on that Tutorial model by adding dd($tutorial->getDirty()); to the update method before the line reading $tutorial->update($input); If _method is found in that output then that is your problem, otherwise I am unsure what else it could be.

I updated my question. In my method i changed

Request::all()

to

 $input = Input::except('_method');

But now i am still getting the error with the _token field:

Column not found: 1054 Unknown column '_token' in 'field list' (SQL: update tutorials set _token =

Hi Chris, you need to add _token to the input exclusion, when using the form helper it adds a hidden input field called _token which is part of Laravels csrf protection.

Simply update $input = Input::except('_method'); to be $input = Input::except(['_method', '_token']);

Super - this is working, thanks :) By the way: Do you have an idea why my method updates all records instead of the one i am editing ? It seems the update function gets no ID from the public function update(Tutorial $tutorial) method.
