Answer 1

The problem with your code is that in your routes.php your route priority is like this :

Route::get('articles/{id}','ArticlesController@show');
Route::get('articles/create','ArticlesController@create');

and when you go to http://localhost:8000/articles/create in your browser laravel catches create as a variable with {id} request in articles/{id} before articles/create gets an opportunity to resolve the route. To solve your problem you must consider the route priority and make the following changes to your route.php file :

Route::get('articles/create','ArticlesController@create');
Route::get('articles/{id}/edit','ArticlesController@show');
Route::get('articles/{id}','ArticlesController@show');

But if you have a bunch of these in your routes.php file you should really consider using this instead:

Route::resource('articles', 'ArticlesController');

This single line will take care of all 4 get routes (index, create, edit, show) as well as all three post/put/delete routes of (store, update, delete).

But to each their own.
