I have a laravel form to create a new product entry in a database on submit, am supposed to be redirected back but I get a completely blank page without any errors. There is no new entry in my database when I check. The form is made up of various text fields, an image URL, and a multi-selected Image URL
please this is my blade template
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('products.store') }}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<h4 >Create Product</h4><br><br>

and this is my store function

Image::make($image)->resize(523,605)->save('upload/home_about/'.$name_gen);
$save_url = 'upload/products/'.$name_gen;
$this->validate($request, [
'name' => $request->name,
'category' => $request->category,
'price' => $request->price,
'description' => $request->description,
'status' => $request -> status,
'tags' => $request -> tags,
'estimated_delivery_time' => $request->estimated_delivery_time,
'available_quantity' => $request->available_quantity,

'supplier_phone' => $request->supplier_phone,
'video_description' => $request->video_description,

'other_images' => $save_url,
]);
$notification = array(
'message' => 'Product created successfully',
'alert-type' => 'success'
);
return redirect()->back()->with($notification);
}
Please what am I doing wrong?
thank you for taking some time to review
CodePudding user response：
you are validating the request but not saving it to database. after the validation and before the return you should do like this to save in database.
$item=new YOUR_MODEL_NAME:
$item->name => $request->name,
$item->category => $request->category,
$item->price => $request->price,
$item->description => $request->description,
$item->status => $request -> status,
$item->tags => $request -> tags,
$item->estimated_delivery_time => $request->estimated_delivery_time,
$item->available_quantity => $request->available_quantity,
$item->colors => $request->colors,
$item->supplier_name => $request->supplier_name,
$item->supplier_phone => $request->supplier_phone,
$item->video_description => $request->video_description,
$item->primary_image => $save_url,
$item->other_images => $save_url,
$item->save();

Try to be specific, pass route where you want to redirect like below:
return redirect()->route('route-name-here')->with($notification);
