My Routes.php file for the customer page where I am facing issue when I click on the send email and send SMS button

  Route::get('/customer', 'CustomerController@showCustomers');
Route::get('/customer/add', 'CustomerController@addNewCustomer');
Route::post('/customer/add', 'CustomerController@insertCustomer');
Route::get('/customer/delete/{id}', 'CustomerController@deleteCustomer');
Route::get('/customer/edit', 'CustomerController@editCustomer');
Route::post('/customer/edit', 'CustomerController@updateCustomer');

Route::post('/customer/set_type', 'CustomerController@setType');
Route::get('/customer/send_sms', 'CustomerController@sendNotification');
Route::get('/customer/send_email', 'CustomerController@sendEmail');

I have checked for all possible solution but each time if the admin hits the send sms or send email button it shows MethodNotAllowed error Here's the error shown below.

Next time dont paste all your code but just the relevant code because now its very difficult to find the right section. — Jesse de gans

Its probably some route error are you trying to post on a get route or? — Jesse de gans
– Jesse de gans, Commented Mar 17, 2017 at 13:14
Something mismatch with your from action and route. if your form action is get and route will be Route::get , If your form action is post then your route will be Route::post — Muthu17
– Muthu17, Commented Mar 17, 2017 at 13:17
Checked in your code <form action="" class="" id="customer_set_type" method="post" role="form" /> here form action is empty — Muthu17

If you want to sent email on click, change this:

<form action="" class="" id="customer_set_type" method="post" role="form" />

To this:

<form action="/customer/send_email" id="customer_set_type" method="post" role="form" />

And change route to:

Route::post('/customer/send_email', 'CustomerController@sendEmail');

If you want to send both SMS and emails, you'll need to create two forms or add some flag to the code.

Your form is set with the POST method while the routes are as GET

<form action="" class="" id="customer_set_type" method="post" role="form" />

Route::get('/customer/send_sms', 'CustomerController@sendNotification');
Route::get('/customer/send_email', 'CustomerController@sendEmail');

Also note that all buttons are like submit to the same place. Maybe it's better to use JavaScript to send this requests.

First off: Next time post only relevant code. DON'T POST all your source code its rather confusing.

MethodNotAllowedHttpException means you are either making a POST to a GET route or vice-versa

These routes are expecting a 'POST' request and will throw MethodNotAllowedHttpException if they receive a GET request instead:

Route::get('/customer/send_sms', 'CustomerController@sendNotification');
Route::get('/customer/send_email', 'CustomerController@sendEmail');

By clicking these buttons below which are "Submit buttons" type=submit a post requests is fired to the server

<input class="btn btn-primary" name="send_sms" type="submit" value="Send SMS"/>
<input class="btn btn-primary" name="send_email" type="submit" value="Send Email"/>

Solution

Make your routes to accept POST requests like so:

Route::post('/customer/send_sms', 'CustomerController@sendNotification');
Route::post('/customer/send_email', 'CustomerController@sendEmail');

Point form action to the correct route URL

<form action="/customer/send_email" id="customer_set_type" method="post" role="form" />
