NULL value is saving in database instead of user submitted info - mysql

Question

I am new to laravel and I am facing following problem
My problem
Problem i m facing is that whenever I submit the form after filling firstname lastname and phone, then everything going well except one thing that in my MYSQL database data is save as firstname: NULL lastname:NULL And phone:NULL instead of saving the data which i had enter.
I have a angularjs form in which is there fields like firstname lastname and phone.on submit it goes to submitContact() in controller:
submit.js:
var addnew = angular.module('addnew',[]);
// create angular controller
addnew.controller('addContactController',
function($scope,$location,$window,$http) {
// function to submit the form after all validation has occurred
$scope.submitContact = function() {
$scope.addnew = {firstname:'', lastname:'',phone:''};
$scope.addnew.firstname=$scope.firstname;
$scope.addnew.lastname=$scope.lastname;
$scope.addnew.phone=$scope.phone;
$http.get("http://localhost:8000/index.php/user/addnew",{"firstname": $scope.firstname, "phone": $scope.phone, "lastname": $scope.lastname})
.then(function mysuccess(response) {
$scope.mycard = response.data;
$scope.statuscode = response.status;
$scope.statustext = response.statustext;
$window.alert(JSON.stringify(response));
console.log(response.data);
});
};
});
http://localhost:8000/index.php/user/addnew this links to my laravel through routes.
my route.php:
Route::get('/user/addnew', 'usercontroller#store');
my usercontroller.php
public function store(Request $request)
{
//contacts::create(Request::all());
$user = new contacts;// contacts is my table name and my database is defined in .env file
$user->firstname = Input::get('firstname');
$user->lastname = Input::get('lastname');
$user->phone = Input::get('phone');
$user->save();
//I Used print_r to see that weather my submitted data is coming in $user or not:
print_r($user);
echo "saved";
}
my contact.php:
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class contacts extends Model
{
protected $fillable =['firstname','lastname','phone'];
}
?>
Now, My problem
when i print_r $user then i got the error as my array is NOT catching my submitted data
print_r ($user) output in console window:
[fillable:protected] => Array
(
[0] => firstname
[1] => lastname
[2] => phone
)
[connection:protected] =>
[table:protected] =>
[primaryKey:protected] => id
[keyType:protected] => int
[perPage:protected] => 15
[incrementing] => 1
[timestamps] => 1
[attributes:protected] => Array
(
[firstname] =>
[lastname] =>
[phone] =>
[updated_at] => 2016-10-07 03:46:34
[created_at] => 2016-10-07 03:46:34
[id] => 38
)
[original:protected] => Array
(
[firstname] =>
[lastname] =>
[phone] =>
[updated_at] => 2016-10-07 03:46:34
[created_at] => 2016-10-07 03:46:34
[id] => 38
)
I want to know where I m making mistake and how can I correct that mistake.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Answer 1

Try this:
$user = new Contact();
Instead of this:
$user = new contacts;
Also, change class name to class Contact extends Model and a filename to a Contact.php.
Alternatively, since you're using $fillable you can create new row:
Contact::create($request->all());

I think you should use POST instead of GET.
$http.post("http://localhost:8000/index.php/user/addnew",{"firstname": $scope.firstname, "phone": $scope.phone, "lastname": $scope.lastname})
.then(function mysuccess(response) {
$scope.mycard = response.data;
$scope.statuscode = response.status;
$scope.statustext = response.statustext;
$window.alert(JSON.stringify(response));
console.log(response.data);
});
And
Route::post('/user/addnew', 'usercontroller#store');
And I noticed that you are posting to /index.php/user/addnew
And your route is '/user/addnew'
'/index.php/user/addnew' and '/user/addnew' are different.
try posting to localhost:8000/user/addnew instead
To explain:
/user/addnew always refer to host:port/user/addnew
While user/addnew will just concatenate it to your current url
for example if you're currently at: localhost:8000/users/1
Clicking a link to user/addnew will bring you to localhost:8000/users/1/user/addnew while a link to /user/addnew will bring you to localhost:8000/user/addnew
EDIT:
Is this redundant?
$scope.addnew.firstname=$scope.firstname;
$scope.addnew.lastname=$scope.lastname;
$scope.addnew.phone=$scope.phone;
What you were sending is this:
{"firstname": $scope.firstname, "phone": $scope.phone, "lastname": $scope.lastname}
I think you can send this instead:
$scope.addnew
and again, you should use POST, not GET.
did you already update your http request to post? did you update the url?

Actually, I achived this by using $request->input('firstname'); $request->input('firstname'); $request->input('firstname');, since, it was JSON thats why. Else, If I had been using Laravel blade file then I could have done it by above solutions.
