Laravel user update problems - laravel

Question

Will try make this clear as much as I can.
Im rolled out a make Auth call in order to use the login and registeration function of laravel and later just used the template to provide the needs I wanted that is.
If user is admin he/she can register a new user.
public function openNewUser(){
return view('auth.register');
}
NB. Part for update.
public function registerNewUser(Request $request){
$this->validate($request,[
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
'name' => 'required|max:120',
'password' => 'required|min:4|confirmed']);
$user = new User();
$user->name = $request->name;
$user->email = $request->email;
$user->password = encrypt($request->password);
if (Gate::denies('register-user')) {
return redirect()->back();
}
$user->save();
return view('home');
}
Problem 1 - I also want to update user , which is giving problems. The password inputs return empty fields , which i understand. When I try to change it doenst work the confirm password always give a mismatch even though they are the same. When I leave it blank too it doesnt work because the field is required to be filled. I took them off the form and tried if i could edit the email only but only didnt work.
public function userUpdate (Request $request,$user_id) {
$this->validate($request,[
'email' => 'required|email',
'name' => 'required|max:120',
'password' => 'required|min:4|confirmed']);
$user = new User();
$user->name = $request->name;
$user->email = $request->email;
$user->password = encrypt($request->password);
if (Gate::allows('register-user')) {
$user->save();
$user->roles()->attach($request->roles);
return redirect()->route('view_users');
}elseif (Gate::denies('register-user')) {
if (Auth::id() == $user_id) {
$user->save();
$user->roles()->attach($request->roles);
return redirect()->route('view_users');
}else{
return redirect()->back();
}
}
}
Problem 2. I just realized all logins I am doing with my new registration gives These credentials do not match our records.Even though the credentials are there and was registered correctly.
I am using the login provided by laravel but I created my own registration.
Please how can I edit and update my users and also be able to login after registration

Answer 1

What version of Laravel are you using?
Here is my (v5.3) register() method in RegisterController.php, at least part for registration:
public function register(Request $request)
{
...
// save and login user
$user = $this->create($request->all());
$this->guard()->login($user);
...
}
...
protected function create(array $data)
{
return User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'lastname' => $data['lastname'],
'phone' => $data['phone'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
]);
}
and the login() method from LoginController.php
public function login(Request $request)
{
$credentials = $this->credentials($request);
...
if ($this->guard()->attempt($credentials, $request->has('remember'))) {
return $this->sendLoginResponse($request);
}
}
Hopefully I haven't miss anything.
Keep in mind that things have changed here from version 5.2.

I found out what was wrong , Since I am using Laravel's login my registration had to use bycrypt for the encryption which is what Laravel registration was using , but I was using encrypt when I created my own registration so there was a conflict when logging in. (Remembere I was using Laravels login not my own written Login). I hope this helps someone
