Nested CRUD with Laravel 4 Questions

The method to show a edit form is called __ and the method to save our changes to that data is called __.

I don't understand what this question is asking is it talking about the methods PUT and POST, I have tried that and its not correct?

Hi Gareth,

The question is referring to the controller itself not the _method in the form, for instance if I wanted the index for all my todo lists I would want the index method.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I was stock with this question as well, I was trying several things, the problem is that the question is not clear enough.
I recommend updating the question for future students.
Maybe adding something like "What controller method..."

Thanks

I still don't get it

The method to show a edit form is called ? --it is a Get method and the function in the controller is called edit

and the method to save our changes to that data is called? --its a Post method and the function in the controller is called store.

Can anyone clarify or rephrase the question please?

Hi Nawfal, I know it is a bit confusing at first. This may help with what you are asking though. It walks you through the different actions available on the controller.
