Saving/Updating User Profile in Laravel 5

Question

I can\'t seem to save the updated profile to the database.

In my edit.blade.php:

{!! Form::model($user, [\'method\' => \'PATCH\', \'route\' =>          


        

Answer 1

Looks like you've not set the submission values to the user object.

Try (Update this is for Laravel 4)

 $user = User::whereCompanyName($company_name)->firstOrFail();
 $user->field = Input::get("some_field"); // Name of the input field here
 $user->save(); // no validation implemented
 flash('You have successfully edited your profile');
 return redirect('/');

EDIT

Actually, if you're using Laravel 5 it looks like it should be:

$user->field = Request::input('some_field'); // Name of the input field here
$user->save(); // no validation implementedenter code here
