Laravel Cannot retrieve a specific record from a form - laravel

Question

I am outputting a list from a database table 'books' like this:
function edit()
{
$books = Book::all();
return view('layouts/editbooks', ['books' => $books]);
}
And displaying them like this:
#extends('layouts.master')
#section('title')
#section('content')
<h1>Edit Book</h1>
<form action="{{url('editbook')}}" method="GET">
{{ csrf_field() }}
#foreach ($books as $book)
<div>
<label>{{$book->title}}</label>
<input type='radio' value='{{$book->id}}' name='books[]'/>
</div>
#endforeach
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-warning form-control" value="Edit">
</form>
#endsection
I then want user to choose which record they want to edit by selecting a radio button, and upon clicking a submit button, redirect user to a new page with details of a book.
Therefore I am trying to get a book id from radio button and then if id matches, display everything from that record:
function editing(Request $request)
{
$edit = $request->books;
return view('layouts/editing', ['edit' => $edit]);
}
function updateEdit()
{
$books = DB::table('books')->where('id', $edit)->first();
}
And that is displayed in a view:
#extends('layouts.master')
#section('title')
#section('content')
<h1>Delete Book</h1>
<form action="{{url('removebook')}}" method="POST">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div>
<input name="name" type="textbox" value="{{ old('name', $edit['name']) }}"/>
</div>
<input type="submit" name="submitBtn" value="Delete Book">
</form>
#endsection
However I get an error message saying:
Undefined index: name (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\laraveladvweb\resources\views\layouts\editing.blade.php)
What is causing the issue?

Answer 1

Isn't $edit just the id of the book?
try this
function editing(Request $request)
{
$edit = $request->books;
$book = DB::table('books')->where('id', $edit)->first();
return view('layouts/editing', ['edit' => $book]);
}
#extends('layouts.master')
#section('title')
#section('content')
<h1>Delete Book</h1>
<form action="{{url('removebook')}}" method="POST">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div>
<input name="name" type="textbox" value="{{ old('name', $edit['name']) }}"/>
</div>
<input type="submit" name="submitBtn" value="Delete Book">
</form>
#endsection
