laravel- unable to store values in soome columns - php

Question

I have a register controller (provided by Laravel) and I have two different registration forms (Customer and Dealer) and they both use the same controller. The difference between the two forms is that certain input fields are in one form but not the other. So my code works fine but I added three new fields (three new columns as well) to my dealer form and it's not making an insert to occupation, date of birth,gender, and ethnicity columns when I registered it.
My RegisterController.php:
protected function create(array $data)
{
$user = User::create([
// Users table
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => Hash::make($data['password'])
]);
$user->userInfo()->create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'NRIC' => $data['nric'], // Create NRIC field.
]);
$user->userAddresses()->create([
'address_1' => $data['homeaddress1'],
'address_2' => $data['homeaddress2'],
'address_3' => $data['homeaddress3'],
'zipcode' => $data['postcode'],
]);
$user->userContacts()->create([
'mobile_num' => $data['number'],
'emergency_num' => $data['emergency']
]);
// check if dealer form is registered, assign dealer role or otherwise
if ($data['RegistrationForm'] == 2) {
//assign track id code to dealer
$user->track_id = 1911000000 + $user->user_id;
$user->userInfo()->occupation = $data['occupation'];
$user->userInfo()->ethnicity = $data['race'];
$user->userInfo()->date_of_birth = $data['dob'];
$user->userInfo()->gender = $data['gender'];
$user->save();
$user->assignRole('1');
$user->assignRole('2');
} else {
//assign track id code to customer
$user->track_id = 1913000000 + $user->user_id;
$user->userAddresses()->shipping_address = $data['shippingaddress'];
$user->save();
$user->assignRole('1');
}
return $user;
}
}
I checked my models and they seemed fine.
UserInfo model:
class UserInfo extends Model
{
// Set table
protected $table = 'user_infos';
// Set timestamps
public $timestamps = true;
// Set primary key
protected $primaryKey = 'user_id';
// Set mass assignable columns
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'NRIC',
'dealer_id',
'ethnicity',
'gender',
'date_of_birth',
'occupation'
];
/**
* Get the user info associated with the user.
*/
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Users\User', 'user_id');
}
}
track_id and assignRole inserts fine but not those new columns I added.
Did I make any mistake here?

Answer 1

The values are not getting saved because you are not saving Userinfo properly.
Do following
if ($data['RegistrationForm'] == 2) {
//assign track id code to dealer
$user->track_id = 1911000000 + $user->user_id;
$user->save();
$userinfo = $user->userInfo;
$userinfo->occupation = $data['occupation'];
$userinfo->ethnicity = $data['race'];
$userinfo->date_of_birth = $data['dob'];
$userinfo->gender = $data['gender'];
$userinfo->save();
$user->assignRole('1');
$user->assignRole('2');
} else {
//assign track id code to customer
$user->track_id = 1913000000 + $user->user_id;
$user->userAddresses()->shipping_address = $data['shippingaddress'];
$user->save();
$user->assignRole('1');
}
