Laravel forcing POST routes into GET

Question

Router:

Route::post('/submit/{id}', function() {
    return 'Hello World';
});

HTML:

<form method="POST" action="/submit/{{$id}}">

The above changes the URL to http://127.0.0.1:8000/submit/$id and returns

Page has Expired Due to Inactivity.

It looks like Laravel is trying to force the POST into a GET.

I think you are using get type route in your POST request. Check this [Route Parameters](https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/routing#route-parameters) — Chirag Patel, May 05 '18 at 09:01
@seamus i think the `$id` in html is not parsed, are you sure that html name is something like: `example.blade.php` ? — Hussein, May 05 '18 at 09:07

This problem is because you forget to put the CSRF token field into the form.

Try with:

Option 1

<form method="POST" action="{{url('submit', [$id])}}">
    {{ csrf_field() }}
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Option 2

<form method="POST" action="{{url('submit')}}/{{$id}}">
    @csrf
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
