Anyone please help me to do this. response are appreciable.

Answer 1

Your laravel code doesn't follow the common practices or the right way to use laravel.
Please have a look into Resource Controllers
https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/controllers#restful-resource-controllers
Also Eloquent Models
https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/eloquent
Now let's try to solve your problem, add these to your routes
//to show edit form and fetch passed user id info from db
Route::get('user/edit/{id}', 'UserController#edit');
//to get the edited info and save it to db
Route::get('user/update/{id}', 'UserController#update');
Now create a model called user by running this command from your project directory:
php artisan make:model User
Now add these in your controller with other use statements
use App\User; /* User model */
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException; /* find or fail error exception class */
Now add these to your controller
// Show Edit page.
public function edit($user_id)
{
try{
//Find the user object from model if it exists
$user= User::findOrFail($user_id);
//Redirect to edit user form with the user info found above.
return view('add',['user'=>$user]);
}
catch(ModelNotFoundException $err){
//redirect to your error page
}
}
// Update user
public function update(Request $request, $user_id)
{
try{
//Find the user object from model if it exists
$user= User::findOrFail($user_id);
//Set user object attributes
//the $request index should match your form field ids!!!!!
//you can exclude any field you want.
$user->description = $request['description'];
$user->contactName = $request['contactName'];
$user->contactPhone = $request['contactPhone'];
$user->timeZone = $request['timeZone'];
//Save/update user.
$user->save();
//redirect to somewhere?
}
catch(ModelNotFoundException $err){
//Show error page
}
}
In your edit view you can access the retrieved user by doing
$user->description //$user->[attribute name]
Since you are not using blade, I believe you can do this, wherever you have old(...) replace it with old(...) || $user->...
except select tags
example:
value="{{ old('contactName') || $user->contactName }}"
for select tags I will give you one example and you need to do the rest by yourself
<select class="form-control" value="{{ old('timeZone') || $user->timeZone}}" name="timeZone" >
<option value="0" {{ $user->timeZone == "0"? 'Selected':''}}>GMT+05:30</option>
<option value="Inactive" {{ $user->timeZone == "Inactive"? 'Selected':''}}>xyz</option>
</select>
Good luck.
