Updating value in DB laravel

I have this code: 

    if(Auth::user())
    {
    Auth::user()->points = $request->points + 100;
    Auth::user()->save();
    }

Everytime user hits submit button in comment box, he should get +100 points, the problem is when I hit submit, comment is saved and points is saved. For example if I had 0 points or more no matter how many, after every comment it's still keeps showing that I have 100. It seems that I can add another 100 to existing points, it just change the value it self and not adding more points.

You should try assigning it this way:

Auth::user()->points += 100;

If I understood your case correctly.

Basically you might wanna make sure that the $request->points has the correct value. Or simply increase the value the user holds.

Another way to try is:

Auth::user()->increment('points', 100);
