Answer 1

You have to clear routes:

php artisan route:cache

Then it will remember that login action is post.

Answer 2

I think you are getting this error because you when you are calling this url there is another url with something like users/{id} which means anything after users/ . May be you are using resource route. So, when you call url users/login/5 its taking login/5 as $id of that users/{id} url.

But that url is for GET method. You are calling this with post method, as a result you are getting this error.

Solution

You can try calling your url using route method like:

action="{{route('sl', ['id'=>5])}}"

If it doesn't work then you can change your route to something else. For example:

Route::post('user/login/5', 'administrator\\usersController@login')->name('sl');

Here you can use user instead of users because you already have a url with a users . Don't forget to change your action too.

Answer 3

First look at your routes with php artisan route:list.

Then are you sure of your request verb ? Look in your navigator console to look at your requests.
