    </div><!-- end form-group -->

    <div class="form-group">
        <label>Name <span class="form_mendatory">*</span></label>
        <input id="edit_form_name" type="text" class="form-control" name="edit_form_name" value="{{Auth::user()->name}}">
    </div><!-- end form-group -->

    <div class="form-group">

    </div><!-- end form-group -->

    <div class="form-group">

    </div><!-- end form-group -->

    <input type="submit" class="btn btn-orange" value="Save Changes">
</form>

If I change the input type from submit to button then no reload or submit of the form.

route

Route::post('/profile-update','userController@profile_update');

userContoller.php

$request->validate([
        'edit_form_image' => 'required|file|max:1024',
        'edit_form_name' => 'required',
        'edit_form_profession' => 'required',
        'edit_form_email' => 'required',
        'edit_form_contact_no' => 'required',
    ]);

    $request->edit_form_image->store('logos');

    $user = Auth::user();

    $user->name = $request->edit_form_name;
    $user->avatar = $request->edit_form_image;
    $user->email = $request->edit_form_email;
    $user->contact_no = $request->edit_form_contact_no;
    $user->profession = $request->edit_form_profession;
    $user->spouse_name = $request->edit_form_spouseName;
    $user->edit_form_address = $request->edit_form_address;


    $user->email = request('email');
    $user->contact_no = request('contact_no');
    $user->profession = request('profession');

    $user->save();

Where is the problem?

Anybody can help ? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

From first look, 1.) it's like validation failing error 2.) can you remove "/" from the Route::post and form actions. 3.) CSRF hidden input pass like ( https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/csrf ).

<form method="POST" action="/profile">
    {{ csrf_field() }}
    ...
</form>

If above solutions not work then, can you confirm that the request will sent to the server or any error on console.

Answer 2

Sometimes post method not woking while update better use patch method to update.You need to pass user id because which user id you want to update.

HTML

<form action="{{ route('updateProfile',$user->id)') }}" method="patch" enctype="multipart/form-data">
@csrf

route

Route::post('/profile-update/{id}','userController@profile_update')->name('updateProfile');

I hope this i may help you.
