Form Submission is not Working

app/2/book/POST, didn't match any of these.

Getting this error when I click on Submit button

#views.py

def book(request,doctor_id):
    try:
        doc = doctor.objects.get(pk=doctor_id)
    except doctor.DoesNotExist:
        raise Http404("Doctor does not exists and therefore unable to book")

    form = forms.BookingForm()
    context = {
        'doc': doc,
        'form': form
    }

    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = forms.BookingForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            print("Good Form")


    return  render(request,'app/book.html',context)

<!-- HTML Template -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>{{ doc.name }}</h1>
<br>
<h2>Speciality : {{ doc.speciality }}<br><br>
Fees : {{ doc.fees }}
</h2>

<a href="/app/{{ doc.id }}/book"> <button type="button" onclick="/app/{{ doc.id }}/book">Book Appointment</button></a>

</body>
</html>

#urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$',views.index,name='index'),
url(r'^(?P<doctor_id>[0-9]+)/book/$', views.book, name='book'),
    url(r'^(?P<doctor_id>[0-9]+)/$', views.detail, name='detail'),

]

Hey Pravandan Chand

So I see the issue you are having, inside your app/templates/app/. You have a file called **book.html*

<form method="POST" action="POST">

    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}



        <input type="submit">
</form>

method should be POST or GET.

action should be the URL of where you want to POST your form to.

which is why you get the app/2/book/POST ... POST at the end.

so give this a shot, replace your form inside book.html with this

<form method="POST" action="{% url 'book' doc.id %}">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <input type="submit">
</form>

Hey Pravandan Chand

Since I dont have all your files to test myself, Could you try something?

In your HTML file could you place a / at the end of the URL href and onclick. Like so...

<a href="/app/{{ doc.id }}/book/"> <button type="button" onclick="/app/{{ doc.id }}/book/">Book Appointment</button></a>

or you could remove that END slash from the URLS even to try it that way. With these files its the only thing Im noticing.
