Am trying to submit a form for calls to my database using laravel eloquent but each time I try, it always shoots up a 404 error.

Here is my web.php

Route::get('/calls/newCall', 'CallsController@newCall');

Route::get('/calls/addNewCall', 'CallsController@create');

Route::resource('new_calls', 'CallsController');

This is my CallsController

<?php



namespace AppHttpControllers;



use IlluminateHttpRequest;

use Appnew_calls;



class CallsController extends Controller

{

    /**

     * Display a listing of the resource.

     *

     * @return IlluminateHttpResponse

     */

    public function viewCall($id){ // the id in the url



        $new_calls = new_calls::find($id);



        return view('calls.viewCall')->with('new_calls', $new_calls);

    }



    /**

     * Show the form for creating a new resource.

     *

     * @return IlluminateHttpResponse

     */

    public function create()

    {

        return view('calls.addNewCall');

    }



    /**

     * Store a newly created resource in storage.

     *

     * @param  IlluminateHttpRequest  $request

     * @return IlluminateHttpResponse

     */

    public function store(Request $request)

    {

        // validate data

        $this->validate($request, array(

           'terminal_id'=> 'required',

           'terminal_name'=> 'required',

        ));



        // store in the database

        $call = new new_calls;

        $call->terminal_id = $request->terminal_id;

        $call->terminal_name = $request->terminal_name;



        $call->save();



        //redirect

        return redirect()->route('new_calls.show', $call->id);

    }



    /**

     * Display the specified resource.

     *

     * @param  int  $id

     * @return IlluminateHttpResponse

     */

    public function show($id)

    {

        //

    }



    /**

     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.

     *

     * @param  int  $id

     * @return IlluminateHttpResponse

     */

    public function edit($id)

    {

        //

    }



    /**

     * Update the specified resource in storage.

     *

     * @param  IlluminateHttpRequest  $request

     * @param  int  $id

     * @return IlluminateHttpResponse

     */

    public function update(Request $request, $id)

    {

        //

    }



    /**

     * Remove the specified resource from storage.

     *

     * @param  int  $id

     * @return IlluminateHttpResponse

     */

    public function destroy($id)

    {

        //

    }

}

This is my form

<form action="CallController@new_calls.store" method="post">

    @csrf

    <div class="col-md-6">

        <div class="input-group" style="width: 100%;">

            <label for="terminal_id">{{ __('Terminal ID') }}</label><br>

            <input type="text" name="terminal_id" id="terminal_id" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter the Terminal ID" style="padding: 20px;" required>

        </div>

    </div>

    <div class="col-md-6">

        <div class="input-group col-md-12" style="width: 100%;">

            <label for="terminal_name">{{ __('Terminal name') }}</label><br>

            <input type="text" name="terminal_name" id="terminal_name" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Terminal Name" style="padding: 20px;" required>

        </div>

    </div>



    <button type="submit" class="btn-primary" style="padding: 10px; font-size: 16px; border: 0;">{{ __('Submit') }}</button>

</form>

This is an HTML context where the form action is literally the URL you are trying to submit the form to. You aren't using the blade template syntax or calling any Laravel function in the form action assignment. You also aren't defining the route action correctly.

You would either use the route name:

route('new_calls.store');

Or you would use the action:

action('CallsController@store');

You are using a combination of the two.

Replace your form action correctly:

<form action="{{ route('new_calls.store') }}" method="post">

Try this:

<form action="{{ action('CallController@store') }}" method="post">
