Message:

I am doing roles&permissions, an action that admin can change user to staff. I am able to send id to editRolePermission function, but the role value.

    function editRolePermission($id, "role value here")

    {



        $row = DB::table('users')

                ->where('id',$id)

                ->limit(1)

                ->update(array('role' => ''));

        return redirect()->back();

    }

<form action="{{ route('updateRolePermission', $user->id) }}" method="POST">



    @method('PATCH')

    @csrf



    <select name="roles">

    <option name ="user" value="user">User</option>

    <option name= "staff" value="staff">Staff</option>

    </select>

    <input type="submit" onchange="this.form.submit()">

</form>

Route::patch('edit-role-permission/{id}', [AdminController::class, 'editRolePermission'])->name('updateRolePermission');

My Answer:
In Laravel 8, you can pass form values to a route by using the `Route::post` method in your `web.php` file. Here's an example of how you can pass form values to a route:

1. Create a form in your Blade view file (`resources/views/form.blade.php`) with the necessary input fields:

html

@csrf


Submit

2. Define the route in your `web.php` file (`routes/web.php`) to handle the form submission:

php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::post('/submit-form', function (Illuminate\Http\Request $request) {
$name = $request->input('name');
$email = $request->input('email');

// Do something with the form values (e.g. save to database)

return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'Form submitted successfully!');
})->name('submitForm');


3. In the above code, we are using the `Route::post` method to handle the form submission. We are retrieving the form values using the `input` method on the `$request` object. You can then perform any necessary actions with the form values (e.g. save to a database) and redirect the user back to the form with a success message.

4. You can also add validation to the form values by using Laravel's validation rules. For example, you can add the following code before processing the form values:

php
$request->validate([
'name' => 'required|string',
'email' => 'required|email',
]);


This will ensure that the `name` and `email` fields are required and have the correct format before processing the form values.

That's it! You have now successfully passed form values to a route in Laravel 8.
