php - laravel 4 Route::controller() method returns NotFoundHttpException -

i trying route restful controller using following in app/routes.php:

route::controller('register', 'registercontroller');  route::get('/', 'homecontroller@showwelcome'); 

in app/controllers/registercontroller.php file have added following:

<?php  class registercontroller extends basecontroller  {     public function getregister()     {         return view::make('registration');     }      public function postregister()     {     $data = input::all();     $rules = array(         'first_name' => array('alpha', 'min:3'),         'last_name' => array('alpha', 'min:3'),         'company_name' => array('alpha_num'),         'phone_number' => 'regex:[0-9()\-]'     );       $validator = validator::make($data, $rules);     if ($validator->passes()) {         return 'data saved.';     }     return redirect::to('register')->witherrors($validator);     } } 

i getting following error:

symfony \ component \ httpkernel \ exception \ notfoundhttpexception

when run php artisan routes in terminal get:

i don't understand why register showing twice in uri , second action missing , why getting error.

if using restful api, best way in route,

route::resource('register', 'registercontroller'); 

and change public function getregister() public function index() , public function postregister() public function store()

then index() can access using get http://localhost/laravel/register , store() using post http://localhost/laravel/register

chaneg http://localhost/laravel/ yours.

and same way update($id) used update , destroy($id) used delete
