Try in the CONTROLLER:
public function updateuser(Request $request, $id)
{
$request->validate([
'name'=>'required',
'email'=>'required|email|unique:users',
'country'=>'required',
'state'=>'required',
'city'=>'required',
'role_id'=>'required'
]);
$user = User::findOrFail($id);
$user->name = $request->name;
$user->email=$request->email;
$user->country=implode(',',$request->country);
$user->state=implode(',',$request->state);
$user->city=implode(',',$request->city);
$user->role_id=$request->role_id;
$user->update();
return redirect()->route('viewuser');
}
Try in the form:
<form action="{{ route('updateuser',$data->id) }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
#method('PUT')
#csrf
