I'm trying to make a referrals application. The only problem is that when I access the link that leads me to the register page, I have a parameter in the URL, I don't know, I don't realize how I can take that parameter from the URL and assign it to the created user. I tried to do a function but I don't realize, again, how I can get the data from that function variable in created user.
The column that generates referral links:
<td>{{ route('refs.user',['name' => $referralCategory->name,'id'=>$referralCategory->id]) }}</td>
web.php
Route::get('refs/{name}/{id}','ReferralCategoryController@refs')->name('refs.user');
And the function that redirects to the register page
public function refs($name = null,$id = null){
//dd($name);
if(!$id){
return redirect(route('login'));
}
else{
if($id){
$refCategory = ReferralCategory::where('id', $id)->first();
ReferralCategory::where('id', $id)->update([
'referral_visits' => $refCategory->referral_visits + 1
]);
}
return redirect()->route('register', ['name' => $name]);
}
if(Cookie::get('id')){
return(route('register'));
}
return response(route('register'))
->cookie('id', $id, 60*24*30*12)
->cookie('name',$name, 60*24*30*12);
}
The register controller:
Route::get('register/{name}','Auth\RegisterController@register_ref')->name('register_ref.cat');
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\User;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class RegisterController extends Controller
{
/*

use RegistersUsers;

}
public function register_ref( $name = null){
return redirect()->route('register', ['name' => $name]);
}

return User::create( [

'referred_by' => $data['referred_by'],
]);
}
}
Variables, you pass through the route, can be called directly in the method:
public function helloWorld($variableFromRoute) { }
Better: If you want to register a user, you should work with http post request.
<form method="post" action="{{ route('route_name') }}">
<input type="text" name="username">
<input type="password" name="pw">
<input type="password" name="pw_repeated">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Register">
</form>
public function register(Request $request) {
// validate
// create record
// redirect
}
Best: ...Or just use the laravel auth system.
