Answer 1

Controller:

public function index()
{
  $users = DB::table('requests')->get();  
  return view('showAttendance',compact('users'));
}

View:

@foreach($users as $user)
        <td>{{$user->date}}</td>
        <td>{{$user->Name}}</td>
        <td>{{$user->Misid}}</td>
        <td>{{$user->semester}}</td>
        <td>{{$user->Department}}</td>
        <td>{{$user->section}}</td>
        <td>{{$user->Attendance}}</td>
@endforeach

first of all, it's better to create your table using migrations in order to have Database Consistency. Further try to use models to interact with Database for example

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class deposit extends Model
{
    //
    protected $keyType = 'string';
    protected $table = "deposit";
    protected $fillable = [
        'uid', 'amount', 'title', 'description'
    ];

}

and then you can use it in your controller

     $deposit = deposit::find($request->deposit_id);
            if($deposit){
             return $deposit
            } else { 
             return 'Some Error'}

first of all you have to use DB in your controller

public function index()
{
 $users = DB::table('table_name')->get();  
 return view('showAttendance',compact('users'));
}

than you have to confirm your return view file location is right or not.Exmple if your showAttendence file is inside a folder you have to use

return view('foldername.showAttendence',compact('users));
