Laravel Route resource does not update when form is posted

I am using Laravel 5.6 and MySQL. I am going to update the student table using the following controller function:

public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {
        $students = Student::find($id);
        $students->name = $request->input('name');
        $students->town = $request->input('town');
        $students->save();
 }

and the update form action looks like this:

<form action="{{route('student.update',$students->id)}}" method="POST">
    {{csrf_field()}}

and my route is define like this:

Route::resource('student','StudentController');

My problem is, when I click the update button in the form it generates the following error message

1/1) MethodNotAllowedHttpException

What's wrong?

<form action="/admin/manage-banners/{{$id}}" method="POST" enctype='multipart/form-data'>
    @csrf
    @method('PUT')

    //rest of your code
    ...

</form>

The above code works for me in laravel 9. {!! method_field('PUT') !!} gave me error.

You are using wrong HTTP method, update method on Route::resource route requires that request is sent with PUT/PATCH HTTP method.

Since HTTP forms doesn't support PUT/PATCH as method you should spoof HTTP method by using Blade directive @method('PUT') inside form.

<form action="{{route('student.update',$students->id)}}" method="POST">
    {{csrf_field()}}

    {!! @method('PUT') !!}
</form>

Verify your route by executing the command :

php artisan route:list

and do check if your request is either sent with 'PUT or PATCH'

I see you are trying to update $student. So instead $student->save()

You may do it like this :

public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {
       try
      {
        $input = $request->all();

        $student = Student::where('id',$id)->update($input);

        return $student;

     }catch(QueryException $ex) {
        return ['success'=>false, 'error'=>$ex->getMessage()];
    }
 }
