Columns not updating in Laravel - laravel

Question

I have some columns in my table that are not updating. I have checked everything many times and everything is spelled correctly and should be working.
I have the following in my view:
#section('content')
{{ csrf_field() }}
<h1 class='py-3'>List of Providers</h1>
<div class='form-group'>
<textarea name='survey_providers_list' type='' rows='10' class='form-control' id='' value = '{{ old('survey_providers_list') }}'></textarea>
<div>{{ $errors->first('survey_providers_list') }}</div>
</div>
<h1 class='py-3'>Comments & Questions</h1>
<p>Pleasee let us know any comments or questions you may have about our plan.</p>
<div class='form-group'>
<textarea name='comments' type='' rows='10' class='form-control' id='' value = '{{ old('comments') }}'></textarea>
<div>{{ $errors->first('comments') }}</div>
</div>
<h1 class='py-3'>Individual Health Insurance</h1>
<p>If you do not want to join our plan and would like some assistance evaluating your options in the Individual Health Insurance market, please select 'Yes' below and we will help you with this process.</p>
<div class='form-group'>
<select class='form-control' id='sel1' name='wants_ind_health_quote'>
<option value='Yes' >Yes</option>
<option value='No' >No</option>
</select>
<div>{{ $errors->first('wants_ind_health_quote') }}</div>
</div>
{{-- <h1 class='py-3'>Status</h1>
<div class='form-group'>
<select class='form-control' id='sel1' name='survey_status'>
<option value='In Progress' >In Progress</option>
<option value='Complete' >Complete</option>
</select>
<div>{{ $errors->first('survey_status') }}</div>
</div> --}}
{{-- Submit Button --}}
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col text-right">
<button type="submit" name="action" value="next_step" class="btn btn-info">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>

I have the following in my controller:
public function store(Request $request)
{
//
$test = Auth::check();
$userid = Auth::id();
$user = User::find($userid);
if ($test == false){
return redirect('/login');
}
else {
$data = request()->validate ([
'survey_providers_list' => '',
'wants_ind_health_quote' => '',
'comments' => '',
]);
$user->update($data);
return redirect ('/my-employer-plan');
}
}
I have used dd to verify the $user variable is working properly and the $data variable is pulling in the data. Both are working properly. However, the data in my table does not update. All the columns in the table are spelled correctly. All I can think of is that I cannot use the update function here for some reason.
Here is the dd($user):

Answer 1

first in User model add below code
protected $fillable = [
'survey_providers_list' ,
'wants_ind_health_quote' ,
'wants_ind_health_quote'
];
opssss Edit Code : you are filled user model with validation result !!!
$validation = request()->validate ([
'survey_providers_list' => '',
'wants_ind_health_quote' => '',
'comments' => '',
]);
$user->update($request->all());

Answer 2

// Post controller
public function update(Request $request, Post $post)
{
if($post->user_id != Auth::id())
{
Toastr::error('You are not authorized this post!!!!','Error');
return redirect()->back();
}
$this->validate($request,[
'title' =>'required',
// 'zip' => 'zip',
'image' => 'image',
'categories' => 'required',
'tags' => 'required',
'body' => 'required',
'live_demo' =>'required'
]);
$zipfile = $request->file('zip');
$slug = str_slug($request->title);
if (isset($zipfile))
{
$currentDate = Carbon::now()->toDateString();
$zipname = $slug.'-'.$currentDate.'-'. uniqid() .'.'. $zipfile->getClientOriginalExtension();
if (!file_exists('storage/uploads/zip'))
{
mkdir('storage/uploads/zip',0777,true);
}
unlink('storage/uploads/zip/'.$post->zip);
$zipfile->move('storage/uploads/zip',$zipname);
}else{
$zipname = $post->zip;
}
$image = $request->file('image');
$slug = str_slug($request->title);
if (isset($image))
{
$currentDate = Carbon::now()->toDateString();
$imagename = $slug.'-'.$currentDate.'-'. uniqid() .'.'. $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$image_resize = Image::make($image->getRealPath());
$image_resize->resize(1600,1066);
if (!file_exists('storage/uploads/post'))
{
mkdir('storage/uploads/post',0777,true);
}
unlink('storage/uploads/post/'.$post->image);
$image_resize->save('storage/uploads/post/'.$imagename);
}else{
$imagename = $post->image;
}
$post->user_id = Auth::id();
$post->title = $request->title;
$post->slug = str_slug($request->title);
$post->image = $imagename;
$post->zip = $zipname;
$post->body = $request->body;
$post->price = $request->price;
$post->live_demo = $request->live_demo;
if(isset($request->status))
{
$post->status =true;
}else
{
$post->status = false;
}
$post->is_approved = false;
$post->save();
$post->categories()->sync($request->categories);
$post->tags()->sync($request->tags);
Toastr::success('Post Successfully Updated:)','Success');
return redirect()->route('user.post.index');
