My route file is

Route::get('/profile/edit', [
                    'uses' => 'ProfileController@getUpdate',
                    'as' => 'edit'
            ]);

        Route::post('profile/update', [
                    'uses' => 'ProfileController@postUpdate',
                    'as' => 'update'
            ]);

Answer 1

//this will load the currently logged in user
$profile = auth()->user();

//if your user db have column 'name' and you wanna update it
$profile->name = 'Jezzabelle';

//save to the db
$profile->save();

Answer 2

In your route you should write this

Route::get('/profile/{profile_id}/edit', [
                    'uses' => 'ProfileController@getUpdate',
                    'as' => 'edit'
            ]);

        Route::post('profile/update', [
                    'uses' => 'ProfileController@postUpdate',
                    'as' => 'update'
            ]);

And in your controller you should write this

public function getUpdate() {
        $divisions = Division::all();
        $districts = District::all();
        $dcategories = Dcategory::all();
        $profile = Auth::user();

        return view('admin.article.edit')
        ->with('divisions',$divisions)
        ->with('districts',$districts)
        ->with('dcategories',$dcategories)
        ->with('profile',$profile);
    }

    public function postUpdate(Request $request ) {

        $this->validate($request, [
            'name' => 'required|max:120',
            'fee' => 'required|max:5',
            'division_id' => '',
            'district_id' => '',
            'dcategory_id' => '',
            'education' => '',
            'institute' => '',
            'specialty' => '',
            'hospital' => '',
            'time' => '',
            'phone' => '',
            'image' =>''            
            ]);


        $doctor = Auth::user();
        $doctor->name = $request['name'];
        $doctor->division_id = $request['division_id'];
        $doctor->district_id = $request['district_id'];
        $doctor->dcategory_id = $request['dcategory_id'];
        $doctor->institute = $request['institute'];
        $doctor->education = $request['education'];
        $doctor->specialty = $request['specialty'];
        $doctor->hospital = $request['hospital'];
        $doctor->phone = $request['phone'];
        $doctor->time = $request['time'];
        $doctor->fee = $request['fee'];

        // $photo = Photo::find($request['id']);
        $logo=$request->file('image');
        if(!empty($logo)) {
            $upload='uploads/logo';
            $filename=$logo->getClientOriginalName();
            $success=$logo->move($upload,$filename);

            $doctor->image = $filename;
        }

This might solve your problem.

Answer 3

Try This

First check you have made fillable all fields you are updating.

App/Entites/User.php

<?php
protected $fillable = ['name', 'email', 'password','username'];

and then update records

$profile = Auth::user();
$profile->name = $request->name;
$profile->email = $request->email;
$profile->username = $request->institute;
$profile->password = bcrypt($request->password);
$profile->save();

Answer 4

Assuming you get user from auth(). So change

$profile = Auth::user();
$profile->name = $request->input('name');
$profile->email = $request->input('email');
$profile->username = $request->input('username');
$profile->password = $request->input('password');
$profile->update();

To

$profile = Auth::user();
$profile->name = $request->input('name');
$profile->email = $request->input('email');
$profile->username = $request->input('username');
// Hash
$profile->password = \Hash::make($request->input('password'));
// Change to save method
$profile->save();

Try it!

Answer 5

It is not updating because in your Form view there is no username you have institute in the name attribute

name="institute" 

Change that to username and try. PLUS you don't have fields for password and email.

Answer 6

$profile = Auth::user();

creates a new row and $profile->save(); will save the records.

to update the specific row specify that row.e.g.

    $id=$request->input('id');

    $profile = User::where(['id'=>$id])->first();
    $profile->name = $request->input('name');
    $profile->email = $request->input('email');
    $profile->username = $request->input('username');
    $profile->password = $request->input('password');
    $profile->update();
