Laravel update only refreshes a page

Question

My update page isn't working, when I'm submitting a form it only refreshes a page and adds some stuff to my URL, for example: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/employees/102/edit?_method=PUT&_token=mj3lrHqoYm1wiLwWiNQ8OX0kNRjmW4QVRuLpgZxY&image_path=&name=Libbie+Ebert&phone_number=380324244497&email=brekke.lola%40example.org&position_id=7&payment=186799&head=Asia+Frami&recruitment_date=2022-01-10 . I already cleared route cache and its still not working, and also tried to use dd function but it's not showing up. What can be wrong? My model:

class Employee extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $casts = [
        'recruitment_date' => 'datetime:d-m-y',
     ];

    protected $fillable= ['name', 'position_id', 'phone_number',
    'recruitment_date', 'email', 'head',
    'image_path', 'payment', 'admin_created_id', 'admin_updated_id'];

    public function position()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Position::class,  'position_id');
    }
}

Controller function:

    public function update(StoreEmployeeRequest $request, $id){
        $input = $request->validated();

        $employee = Employee::findOrFail($id);

        $employee->update([
            'name' => $request->input('name'),
            'position_id' => $request->input('position_id'),
            'phone_number' => '+' . $request->input('phone_number'),
            'recruitment_date' => $request->input('recruitment_date'),
            'email' => $request->input('email'),
            'head' => $request->input('head'),
            'image_path' => $input['image_path'],
            'payment' => number_format($request->input('payment')),
            'admin_updated_id' => auth()->id(),
        ]);

        return to_route('admin.employees.index');

    }

Request:

public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'name' => 'required|min:2|max:255',
            'recruitment_date' => 'required|date',
            'phone_number' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required|email',
            'payment' => 'required|numeric',
            'position_id' => 'required',
            'image_path' => 'image|mimes:jpg,png|max:5000|dimensions:min_width=300,min_height=300'
        ];
    }

Route:

Route::put('/admin/employees/{id}/edit', [EmployeeController::class, 'update'])->name('admin.employees.update');

Answer 1

You are missing the method attribute in your form, and the default one is GET. Adding @method('PUT') is not enough. Change your code like this:

<form
    action="{{ route('admin.employees.update', ['id' => $employee->id]) }}"
    method="POST"
    enctype="multipart/form-data">

Answer 2

i think you should you POST method while submitting the form.
