{!! Form::close() !!}

Here's my EnrollmentController:

    public function update(EnrollmentRequest $request, $id)
{
    $enrollment = Enrollment::findOrFail($id);
    $enrollment->update($request->all());
    return redirect('/enrollment');
}

routes.php

// Authentication routes...
Route::get('auth/login', 'Auth\AuthController@getLogin');
Route::post('auth/login', 'Auth\AuthController@postLogin');
Route::get('auth/logout', 'Auth\AuthController@getLogout');

// Registration routes...
Route::get('auth/register', 'Auth\AuthController@getRegister');
Route::post('auth/register', 'Auth\AuthController@postRegister');

Route::resource('enrollment','EnrollmentController');

I think the issue is that you have a mistake in your HTML. In your very first "subject_code" input, you have the following HTML:

<select class="form-control" name="_method" value="PUT" id="subject_code">

You've accidentally named this input as _method , which is the reserved input name for Laravel method spoofing. Even though you've assigned the value as "PUT", this is not how selects work, and the value will end up being something else. This is preventing the Laravel method spoofing from working correctly. Since the method spoofing is not working, you're sending a POST request to enrollment/{id} , and that route does not allow POST requests.

You need to correct this input so that it is not named "_method":

<select class="form-control" name="subject_code" id="subject_code">

Additionally, you need to fix your Form::model() statement. It needs to take two parameters, where the first is the model, and the second is an array of attributes. In your array of attributes, you need the "method" to be "PUT" (so that the form builder will automatically create the hidden "_method" input), and you need the first element in the "route" array to be the name of the route, not the url. Updates shown below:

{!! Form::model($enrollment, ['method' => 'PUT', 'route' => ['enrollment.update', $enrollment->id], 'class' => 'form-horizontal']) !!}
