Laravel edit form

just wondering how edit details once you've saved them onto your database?

Like I want to edit Name and Contact details from the browser?

So far I have placeholders or stuff that I want to edit.

<ul class="no-bullet">
    <li>Full Name: {{ $providerName }} {{ $providerSurname }}</li>
    <li>Email Adress: {{ $providerEmail }}</li>
    <li>Contact Number:</li>
    <li>Company:</li>
</ul>
<a href="#" class="small radius button">Edit Details</a>

{{ Form::model($provider, array('route' => array('provider.update', $provider->id))) }}

using the code above it doesn't autofill the fields in my edit form. However when I removed the first array like this the form has filled with data.

{{ Form::model($provider, array('provider.update', $provider->id)) }}

You can bind a database model to your form:

Form::model($provider, array('route' => array('provider.update', $user->id)))

Laravel will automagically fill out your inputs with database data.

This this is could be your accountEdit view:

<html>
    <head>
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        {{ Form::model($provider, array('route' => array('provider.update', $provider->id))) }}
            {{ Form::label('providerName', 'Full Name:')) }}
            {{ Form::text('providerName') }}
            {{ Form::text('providerSurname') }}

            {{ Form::label('providerEmail', 'E-Mail Address') }}
            {{ Form::text('providerEmail') }}

            {{ Form::submit('Send this form!') }}
        {{ Form::close() }}
    </body>
</html>

This could be your route

Route::get('edit', function() { 
    $provider = Provider::find(1); 

    return View::make('accountEdit')->with(compact('provider'));
});   

Route::get('provider/update', array('as'=>'provider.update', function() { 

    dd(Input::all())

});
