Data is not updating in database on update Laravel 5.2

Question

I just implement the CRUD in my Application , but UPDATE is not updating data in Database I var_dump($user->name) but it outputs nothing . Please take a look on the code and help me out.I am using Laravel 5.2 and Resource Controller.

PS : Edit is working fine e.g on this URL http://localhost/pos/users/6/edit?id=6 I can populate the view fields with the required data but when I hit update nothing updates in Database.

UserController:

  public function edit($id)
        {
            $user = User::find($id);
            return view('user.update')->with('userToUpdate',$user);
        }

        /**
         * Update the specified resource in storage.
         *
         * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
         * @param  int  $id
         * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
         */
        public function update(Request $request, $id)
        {
            $user = User::find($id);
            $user->name = Input::get('name');
            $user->email = Input::get('email');
            $user->password = bcrypt(Input::get('password'));
            $user->save();      
            return Redirect::to('/users')->with('message', 'User Updated');
        }

UpdateView:

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-2">
            <div class="panel panel-default">

                        {!! csrf_field() !!}

                        <div class="form-group{{ $errors->has('name') ? ' has-error' : '' }}">
                            <label class="col-md-4 control-label">Name</label>

                            <div class="col-md-6">

                            <div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-4">
                                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">

</div>

UserModel:

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email', 'password',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token',
    ];
}

Routes:

Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
    Route::get('/', function () {
        return view('welcome');
    });

    Route::auth();

    Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');
    Route::get('/register', function(){
        return view('auth.register');
    })->middleware('isAdmin');
    Route::resource('/users', 'UsersController');

});

Answer 1

From the laravel docs:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.0/routing#method-spoofing

HTML forms do not support PUT, PATCH or DELETE actions. So, when defining PUT, PATCH or DELETE routes that are called from an HTML form, you will need to add a hidden _method field to the form.

However the Route::resource specifies that the update needs to use the PUT method. Therefore your form needs to be:

<form class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="POST" action="{{ url('/users', $userToUpdate->id) }}">
     {!! csrf_field() !!}
     <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT">

Answer 2

Is it because your not passing the user id when sending off the form? Try editing the form action from {{ url('/users') }} to {{ url('/users', $userToUpdate->id) }}.
