Method PUT and DELETE don't work in Laravel

Question

I have a problem with my routes in Laravel.

When I use the following route:

Route::resource('user', 'PostsController');

The methods PUT and DELETE work fine with the functions destroy and update in my controller, but when I use the following route:

Route::delete('{$id}', function($id){
    return "Remover o usuário ".$id;
});

and

Route::put('{$id}', function($id){
    return "Editar o usuário ".$id;
});

I have the following error:

NotFoundHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 161:

at RouteCollection->match(object(Request)) in Router.php line 780
at Router->findRoute(object(Request)) in Router.php line 610

In Laravel route parameters are defined without a $ like {id} instead of {$id}. See the docs for more info.

So in your case:

Route::delete('{id}', function($id){
    return "Remover o usuário ".$id;
});

and:

Route::put('{id}', function($id){
    return "Editar o usuário ".$id;
});
