Screenshot (code above)
controller
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$user = User::find($id);
$user = User::where('id',$id)->first();
$user->name = $request->input('name');
$user->save();
$profile = Profile::find($id);
$profile = Profile::where('id',$id)->first();
$profile->user_id = $request->input('user_id');
$profile->about = $request->input('about');
$profile->website = $request->input('website');
$profile->phone = $request->input('phone');
$profile->state = $request->input('state');
$profile->city = $request->input('city');
if ($request->hasFile('photo')) {
$photo = $request->file('photo');
$filename = 'photo' . '-' . time() . '.' . $photo->getClientOriginalExtension();
$location = public_path('images/' . $filename);
Image::make($photo)->resize(1300, 362)->save($location);
$profile->photo = $filename;
$oldFilename = $profile->photo;
$profile->photo = $filename;
Storage::delete($oldFilename);
}
$profile->save();
return redirect()->route('profile', $user->id)->with('success', 'Your info are updated');
}
PS: please don't go with my controller method, I just put data that
way so you can know what field belongs to what table.
Question
Any idea how i can save my data in 2 tables at the same time?
And I get this Error
Symfony \ Component \ HttpKernel \ Exception \ MethodNotAllowedHttpException No message

Answer 1

You need to check whether save in both or not
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$user = User::find($id);
$user = User::where('id',$id)->first();
$user->name = $request->input('name');
if($user->save())
{
$profile = Profile::find($id);
$profile = Profile::where('id',$id)->first();
$profile->user_id = $request->input('user_id');
$profile->about = $request->input('about');
$profile->website = $request->input('website');
$profile->phone = $request->input('phone');
$profile->state = $request->input('state');
$profile->city = $request->input('city');
if ($request->hasFile('photo')) {
$photo = $request->file('photo');
$filename = 'photo' . '-' . time() . '.' . $photo->getClientOriginalExtension();
$location = public_path('images/' . $filename);
Image::make($photo)->resize(1300, 362)->save($location);
$profile->photo = $filename;
$oldFilename = $profile->photo;
$profile->photo = $filename;
Storage::delete($oldFilename);
}
$profile->save();
return redirect()->route('profile', $user->id)->with('success', 'Your info are updated');
}
return redirect()->back()->with('error','Something went wrong');
}
Symfony \ Component \ HttpKernel \ Exception \ MethodNotAllowedHttpException this exception comes when you are trying to access post method by hiiting the url in browser.

Since you can't insert into multiple tables in one MySQL command, there is no way to accomplish your requirement. But You can however use a Single Transaction.
DB::transaction(function() {
// first update
User::whereId($id)->update([
'name' => $reqquest->name,
'email' => $request->email,
..........
]);
// second update
Profile::whereId($id)->update([
'about' => $request->website,
'mobile' => $request->mobile,
..........
..........
]);
}
