Sending query parameters to a POST request laravel

I wish to send a query like string to a POST request, this string is in a variable called $info

 $info = firstname=testing123&lastname=testing123&[email protected]&number=123

So my routes will be like this

Route::post('/action/{date}/{time}/{info}', 'Action@confirm');

And my form like this

<form action="/confirmation/{{$date}}/{{$time}}/{{$info}}" method="POST"> 
      {{ csrf_field() }}
      <input type="text" name="action" required>
      <button>Submit</button>
      </form>

I cannot pass the $info variable, I get a No such file or directory error.

How can I pass a query like string to a POST request using routes?

Query parameters do not need to be defined in the route. So you can remove the info parameter from the route definition.

Route::post('/action/{date}/{time}', 'Action@confirm');

Then add the query string to your action on the form 

<form action="/confirmation/{{$date}}/{{$time}}?{{$info}}" method="POST"> 
    ...
</form>

And in the controller you can access the data the same way you would any other parameter

$firstname= $request->get('firstname');

Alternatively I would consider a different way of transmitting that data. From what you've provided it looks like might be more appropriate to store that data in the session then retrieve it from the session in the Action@confirm method.
