copied!<p><strong>Update 08/21/2017 for Laravel 5.x</strong></p> <p>The question asks about Laravel 4, but I include this in case people looking for Laravel 5.x answers end up here. The Form and other helpers <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35695949/why-are-form-and-html-helpers-deprecated-in-laravel-5-x">aren't available as of 5.x</a>. You still need to specify a method on a form if you are doing something besides GET or POST. This is the current way to accomplish that:</p> <pre><code><form action="/foo/bar" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT"> <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">  </form> </code></pre> <p>You can also use <code>{{ method_field('PUT') }}</code> instead of writing out the hidden <code>_method</code> input.</p> <p>See <a href="https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/routing#form-method-spoofing" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/routing#form-method-spoofing</a></p> <p><strong>Original Answer for Laravel 4</strong></p> <p>I think when you click the link, it is probably sending a GET request to that end point. CRUD in Laravel works according to REST. This means it is expecting a DELETE request instead of GET.</p> <p>Here's one possibility from a <a href="http://www.codeforest.net/laravel-4-tutorial-part-2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tutorial</a> by Boris Strahija.</p> <pre><code> {{ Form::open(array('route' => array('admin.pages.destroy', $page->id), 'method' => 'delete')) }} <button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger btn-mini">Delete</button> {{ Form::close() }} </code></pre> <p>This way, you send the request in a form with the DELETE method. The article explains why a traditional link won't work:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p>You may notice that the delete button is inside a form. The reason for this is that the destroy() method from our controller needs a DELETE request, and this can be done in this way. If the button was a simple link, the request would be sent via the GET method, and we wouldn’t call the destroy() method.</p> </blockquote> </blockquote>
