Trying to update a comment using update function i created but when i route the comment i get the error ‘The PUT method is not supported for route comments/4/edit. Supported methods: GET, HEAD.’ – the method is called ‘POST’ and ive called ‘@method(‘PUT’) – ive cleared out my routes cache using the artisan command and still hasnt fixed it- im new to coding in general and i cant seem to figure out the problem – many thanks

    The action in your form tag is different to the route that you need. Try removing the edit at the end of the action path so that it will work.

    Tip : To make creating url easier try adding a name to the routes.

    Route::put('/comments/{comment}',[CommentsController::class, 'update'])
    ->name('comments.update')
    ->middleware('auth');

    to use it in the form you can just

    <form action="{{ route('comments.update', ['comment' => $comment->id]) }}">...</form>

    with this you can ensure that you are using the correct route even if you chage the path in the web.php in the future.

    Your route is invalid. you are trying to access PUT comments/4/edit but the there is no such route. Your current route is without /edit. so you can change your route to

    //Update comments
Route::put('/comments/{comment}/edit',
[CommentsController::class, 'update'])->middleware('auth');

    Or you can also change your reference target link int the form to /comments/{{$comment->id}} like below:

    <form method="POST" action="/comments/{{$comment->id}}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
