Laravel can't update database?

Question

This is a weird error. I can add a new record to the database fine with a new UserEdit method, but if I try to update a record. Nothing. It doesn't even file a blank value, or issue an error.

What am I missing? To try to eliminate issues, I tried running the core update method in the documentation like so:

protected function create()
    {
        $save = UserEdit::find(715);
        $save->First_Name = 'Jeffrey';
        $save->Last_Name = 'Way';
        $save->save();
        $id = UserEdit::find(715)->toArray();
        return view('NewUser', compact('id'));
        //return $array;
    }

This problem is the same as my earlier question here , but I didn't think it appropriate to double up the questions and this is technically a different problem. My blade just prints an array of the user data at the moment so I know if it's working or not:

@extends('layout')

@section('content')
    <h1> Add Your Information {{ $id['name'] }}</h1>

  <div class="col-md-6">
    @foreach ($id as $key=>$value)
        {{ $value }}<br>
    @endforeach
  </div>
@stop

The Routes:

<?php


Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Auth::routes();

Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');


Route::get('NewUser', 'UserEntryController@create');
Route::post('NewUser', 'UserEntryController@UserForm');
Route::post('NewUser', 'UserEntryController@UserForm')->name('submit');

I'm assuming I'm missing some crucial minor detail, but for the life of me, can't find what. Anybody got an idea where to look?

Answer 1

public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $user = new UserEdit;

        //$user->name = $request->name;
        $user->First_Name = "foo";
        $user->Last_Name = "bar";

        $user->save();

        return $user;
    }

Try this function, maybe you had a mistake in your code.
