Laravel Starter - PHP User Group (Myanmar)

Laravel Starter
When an action is prefixed with get_, it will only respond to the GET requests. An action
prefixed with post_ will only respond to the POST requests. The same is true of put_ and
delete_. This gives us more code separation and allows us to really improve the readability
and maintainability of our application.
Step 11 – Creating a form for adding users
It's time to give our site's administrators the ability to create users. We're going to need a new
form. Let's start off by creating the file application/views/users/create.php and
populating it with the following form HTML:
Create a User
Real Name:
Email:
Password:
Then, let's create a controller action for it. In our Users_Controller, let's add the
following action.
public function get_create()
{
return View::make('users.create');
}
Now, we can go to http://myfirst.dev/users/create and see our form. Once again,
it's not pretty but sometimes simple is best.
Step 12 – Routing POST requests to a controller action
When we submit the form it's going to make a POST request to our application. We haven't yet
created any actions to handle the POST requests, so if we submit it now we're going to get a 404
error. Let's go ahead and create a new action in Users_Controller:
public function post_create()
{
return "The form has been posted here.";
}
Notice that this method has the same action name as the get_create() method that we're
using to show the create user form. Only the prefix is different. The get_create() method
responds to the GET requests where the post_create() method responds to the POST
requests. In the case of our create user form, the post_create() method receives the
contents of the form's submitted input fields.
