Not linking to the correct id

i am new to code and wondering why my comment id is not linking to the correct post id.

This is my comment controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Tweet;
use App\Models\User;
use App\Models\Comment;



class CommentController extends Controller
{
    public function show()
    {
      return view('comments',[

      'tweets' => Tweet::all()
    ]);
    }
    public function store(Tweet $tweet)
    {


      $attributes = request()->validate(['comment_body' => 'required|max:255']);


          Comment::create([

        'user_id' => auth()->id(),
        'tweet_id' => $tweet->id,
        'comment_body' => $attributes['comment_body']
      ]);


      return redirect('/comments/{$tweet->id}');
    }
}

This is my comment.blade.php file


    x-app>
  <div class="border border-blue-400 rounded-lg px-8 py-6 mb-8">
{{dd($tweets)}}
 @foreach ($tweets as $tweet)
    <form method="POST" action="/comments/{{$tweet->id}}">
    @csrf
    @endforeach



    <textarea
      name="comment_body"
          class="w-full"
          placeholder="Reply to this tweet"
          required
          autofocus
           >
         </textarea>

           <hr class="my-4">

           <footer class="flex justify-between items-center">
             <img
             src="/images/twitter.jpg"
             alt=""
             class="mr-2 rounded-full"
             width="50"
             >


           <button type="submit" class="bg-blue-500 hover:bg-blue-600 rounded-lg shadow px-10 text-white h-10">Comment</button>
     </footer>
  </form>
  @error('body')
    <p class="text-red-500 text-sm mt-2">{{ $message }} </p>
  @enderror
  </div>
    <div class="border border-gray-300 rounded-lg">

  <p class="p-4">No comments</p>






  </div>


</x-app>

The main problem is I hit comment and instead of it entering the database as it should e.g I comment on a tweet with an id of 2 in the database and the comment will have a tweet id of 1 which is what is meant to link them but instead, all the comments are going to the tweet id 1.

Your controller method is expecting a 'Tweet' Model, not $tweet->id, which you are posting.

You can confirm this by doing a print_r on $tweet in the store method of your controller.

print_r($tweet);

Change your form action to be

<form method="POST" action="/comments/{{$tweet}}">

IF YOU ARE NOT USING A RESOURCE ROUTE

Your POST route for this action must be setup like this:

Route::post('/comments/{tweet}, 'CommentController@store');

As per JoshBonnick's comment, the form opening tag is within your @foreach loop in the blade example you gave, but the closing is not, you probably want to move your @endforeach below your closing </form> tag

You also have an error in your redirect in the controller, you do not need the braces {} around {$tweet->id}

The POST method will not accept the ID from the action. You may use a hidden field for ID in the form.
