How can I insert data into Database Laravel?

Question

I'm new to programming. I have created a basic form inside views/register.blade.php like this

         @section('content')
<h1>Registration Form</h1><hr>
<h3>Please insert the informations bellow:</h3>
{{Form::open(array('url'=>'test/register','method'=>'post'))}}
<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="username"><br><br>
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="email"><br><br>
<input type="password" placeholder="password"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="REGISTER NOW!">
{{Form::close()}}@stop

I have a controller. like this

         public function create()
         {
             $user= Input::all();
               $user = new User;
               $user->username = Input::get('username');
               $user->email = Input::get('email');
               $user->password = Input::get('password');
               $user->save();

            return Redirect::back();
        } 

Here is my route:

Route::get('test/register', array('uses'=>'TestController@create'))

I can not register users through the form. Would you please suggest me how to do that?

Answer 1

The error MethodNotAllowedHttpException means the route exists, but the HTTP method (GET) is wrong. You have to change it to POST:

Route::post('test/register', array('uses'=>'TestController@create'));

Also, you need to hash your passwords:

public function create()
{
    $user = new User;

    $user->username = Input::get('username');
    $user->email = Input::get('email');
    $user->password = Hash::make(Input::get('password'));
    $user->save();

    return Redirect::back();
}

And I removed the line:

$user= Input::all();

Because in the next command you replace its contents with

$user = new User;

To debug your Input, you can, in the first line of your controller:

dd( Input::all() );

It will display all fields in the input.
