Question

I'm trying to update my database record with simple query in laravel controller.
This is my code,
DB::table('calender_events')->where('id', '=', '1')->update(
array(
'title' => $request->title,
)
);
form
<form id="addEventForm" method="post" action="{{ route('editEvent.store') }}" autocomplete="off">
#csrf
<div class="pl-lg-4">
<div class="form-group{{ $errors->has('title') ? ' has-danger' : '' }}">
<label class="form-control-label" for="input-title">{{ __('Title') }}</label>
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
<input type="text" name="title" id="input-title" class="form-control form-control-alternative{{ $errors->has('title') ? ' is-invalid' : '' }}" placeholder="{{ __('Title') }}" value="{{ $old_event['title'] }}" required autofocus>
</div>
<div class="col">
<p style="font-size:14px;padding: 10px;">Current Title: {{ $old_event['title'] }}</p>
</div>
</div>
#if ($errors->has('title'))
<span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">
<strong>{{ $errors->first('title') }}</strong>
</span>
#endif
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary mt-4">{{ __('Save') }}</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
when I click save button it redirect to home page as expected , but db doesn't get updated.
also I used insert and select queries without any error.
and yes,there is a record in database with id=1.
please help!

Answer 1

You should have to write the code like this
DB::table('calender_events')->where('id',1)->update(
array(
'title' => $request->title,
)
);

Answer 2

This is the working code I finally come up with,

public function update(Request $request)
{
$image = $request->file('avatar');
if($image!=null){
$avatar_name = $request->get('NIC').'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$folder = '/uploads/avatars/';
// $filePath = $folder . $avatar_name;
$this->uploadOne($image, $folder, 'public', $avatar_name);
}else{
$avatar_name = null;
}
DB::table('users')->where('id', '=', $request->user_id_)->update(

I had to make another blade and move edit functions to another controller.And this was because of free dashboard template I'm using.It has built in authentication functions but blocks some parts for free users.Anyway thanks for your help.
