Can't seem to find a solution for this error in Laravel

Question

Here is the error:

syntax error, unexpected token "=>", expecting ")"

And here is my code:

{{Form::open (array ('url' => 'logincheck'))}}

    <p> {{Form::text ('username', string ('placeholder'=>'Username','maxlength'=>30))}} </p>

    <p> {{Form::password ('password', string('placeholder'=>'Password','maxlength'=>30))}} </p>

    <p> {{Form::submit ('Submit')}} </p>

{{Form::close ()}}

Answer 1

Change the string(... to array(...

I recommend you use the short array syntax like that:

{{ Form::text('username', ['placeholder' => 'Username', 'maxlength' => 30]) }}

Answer 2

The method signature is public function text($name, $value = null, $options = []) So to pass your options, you need to use an array.

{{ Form::open (array ('url' => 'logincheck')) }}
    

    <p> {{ Form::text ('username', '',['placeholder'=>'Username','maxlength'=>30]) }} </p>

    <p> {{ Form::password ('password', '', ['placeholder'=>'Password','maxlength'=>30]) }} </p>

    <p> {{ Form::submit ('Submit') }} </p>

{{ Form::close ()}}

Answer 3

Try refining your input fields like so:

{{ Form::text('username', null, array('placeholder' => 'Username','maxlength' => 30 )) }}

{{ Form::password('password', null, array('placeholder' => 'Password','maxlength' => 30 )) }}

BTW, what version of Laravel are you using?

Answer 4

I replaced the string with array Try this code

{{Form::open (array ('url' => 'logincheck'))}}

    <p> {{Form::text ('username', array('placeholder'=>'Username','maxlength'=>30))}} </p>

    <p> {{Form::password ('password', array('placeholder'=>'Password','maxlength'=>30))}} </p>

    <p> {{Form::submit ('Submit')}} </p>

{{Form::close ()}}
