Laravel REST-ful (Resourceful) controlllers has pre-configured routes (can be re-configured):
According to : http://laravel.com/docs/controllers#resource-controllers
+-----------+---------------------------+---------+------------------+
| Verb | Path | Action | Route Name |
+-----------+---------------------------+---------+------------------+
| GET | /resource | index | resource.index |
| GET | /resource/create | create | resource.create |
| POST | /resource | store | resource.store |
| GET | /resource/{resource} | show | resource.show |
| GET | /resource/{resource}/edit | edit | resource.edit |
| PUT/PATCH | /resource/{resource} | update | resource.update |
| DELETE | /resource/{resource} | destroy | resource.destroy |
+-----------+---------------------------+---------+------------------+
Referencing the table each of the Verb must correspond to the action method in the controller.
For example if your Resourceful Route is registered as:
Route::resource('user', 'userInscriptionController');
Then to POST to user resource, you need to have userInscriptionController#store action (i.e. method called store() in your userInscriptionController.
To avoid manually creating each of these actions, you can use Laravel's artisan controller:make
php artisan controller:make userInscriptionController
which will generate all these actions for you, then you just need to fill in your logic to complete the resource.

From your comment, you are using
Route::resource('user', 'userInscriptionController');
which will generate following routes
Verb | Path | Action | Route Name
------------------------------------------------------------------------
GET | /resource | index | resource.index
GET | /resource/create | create | resource.create
POST | /resource | store | resource.store
GET | /resource/{resource} | show | resource.show
GET | /resource/{resource}/edit | edit | resource.edit
PUT/PATCH | /resource/{resource} | update | resource.update
DELETE | /resource/{resource} | destroy | resource.destroy
And as you can see, the only action allowing post is store. So you should use this one or add post route for an other method like this :
Route::post('your_url', array('as' => 'your_route_name', 'uses' => 'YourController#yourMethod'));
I hope it's clear now

if request is GET then:
if (Request::isMethod('get'))
{
$user = new userInscription;
$user->nom = Request::get('name');
$user->pseudo = Request::get('pseudo');
$user->userId = Request::get('userId');
$user->hasFiat = Request::get('hasFiat');
$user->optin = Request::get('optin');
$user->mail = Request::get('mail');
$pseudo = Input::get('pseudo');
$userId = Input::get('userId');
$hasFiat = Input::get('hasFiat');
if($pseudo == '' || $hasFiat == '' )
{
return Response::json( array(
'status' => 'ko',
'message' => 'missing mandatory parameters')
);
}
else if($userId == '')
{
if( $user->save() )
{
$id = DB::table('user')
->where('pseudo','LIKE',$pseudo)
->pluck('userId');
return Response::json(array(
'status' => 'ok',
'message' => 'success',
'userId' => $id
));
}
else
{
return Response::json(array(
'message' => 'error while saving this user !!',
));
}
}
}
===================
if request is POST then:
if (Request::isMethod('post'))
{
$user = new userInscription;
$user->nom = Request::post('name');
$user->pseudo = Request::post('pseudo');
$user->userId = Request::post('userId');
$user->hasFiat = Request::post('hasFiat');
$user->optin = Request::post('optin');
$user->mail = Request::post('mail');
$pseudo = Input::post('pseudo');
$userId = Input::post('userId');
$hasFiat = Input::post('hasFiat');
if($pseudo == '' || $hasFiat == '' )
{
return Response::json( array(
'status' => 'ko',
'message' => 'missing mandatory parameters')
);
}
else if($userId == '')
{
if( $user->save() )
{
$id = DB::table('user')
->where('pseudo','LIKE',$pseudo)
->pluck('userId');
return Response::json(array(
'status' => 'ok',
'message' => 'success',
'userId' => $id
));
}
else
{
return Response::json(array(
'message' => 'error while saving this user !!',
));
}
}
}
