Question

I’m trying to create a route using a wildcard, with the syntax I know from L3, but I keep getting a 404.

I registered my route in routes.php:

Route::get("get_cities/(:num)","QueryController@get_cities");

The controller and the function exist and are found when I remove the wildcard. Has the syntax changed?

And while I’m at it: Is there any documentation I can refer to with similar problems, or is it yet to be written?

You’ll be wanting something like…

Route::get('cities/{id}', 'CityController@showProfile');

The documentation has been out for a little while now…
