{{ csrf_field() }}
/// here is my input fields
</form>
and i'm using Laravel : 6.20.5
could someone tell me where is the problem in my code? thanks

Answer 1

you could try this:
instead of $avatar = $request->avatar;
use
$avatar = $request->file('avatar');
and instead of $avatar->move('uploads/avatars', $avatar_new_name);
use
$request->file('avatar')->storeAs('uploads/avatars', $avatar_new_name);
and when using back() there's no need for redirect(). back() generates an HTTP redirect.
so
return back();
