Data not saving in Database on Laravel Forms - laravel

Question

I am trying to Update user Profile after they Login, It works well and says PROFILE UPDATED SUCCESSFULLY but nothing inserted on the Database Table, so in essence, the View shows nothing of the Updated form fields. Please anyone with an idea of where i am getting this wrong will be highly appreciated, Thanks.
CONTROLLER Update FUNCTION
public function update(Request $request)
{
$rules = [
'name' => 'required',
'email' => 'required',
'phone' => 'required|numeric',
'country' => 'required',
'gender' => 'required',
'birthday' => 'required',
'fb' => 'url',
'twitter' => 'url',
'gp' => 'url',
'instagram' => 'url',
'personal_site' => 'url',
'aboutme' => 'url',
'linkedin' => 'url',
'pinterest' => 'url'
];
$data= $request->all();
$validator = Validator::make($data, $rules);
if($validator->fails()){
return Redirect::back()->withInput()->withErrors($validator);
}
$user = Auth::user();
$user->name = $data['name'];
$user->email = $data['email'];
$user->phone = $data['phone'];
$user->country = $data['country'];
$user->birthday = $data['birthday'];
$user->address = $data['address'];
if($user->save()) {
$profile_id = $user->id;
$profile = Profile::find($profile_id);
if(count($profile) > 0) {
$profile->gender = $data['gender'];
$profile->city = $data['city'];
$profile->state = $data['state'];
$profile->aboutmyself = $data['aboutmyself'];
$profile->fb = $data['fb'];
$profile->twitter = $data['twitter'];
$profile->gp = $data['gp'];
$profile->instagram = $data['instagram'];
$profile->personal_site = $data['personal_site'];
$profile->aboutme = $data['aboutme'];
$profile->linkedin = $data['linkedin'];
$profile->pinterest = $data['pinterest'];
// $profile = $user->profile()->save($profile);
$profile->save();
}
} else {
return redirect()->back()->withInput()->withInfo("Something went wrong. Please, try again");
}
return redirect()->route('profile')->withSuccess("Your Profile Successfully Updated.");

UPDATE: Thanks for the Prompt response but that didn't fix it though, Am thinking the Fault might be from the CONTROLLER FUNCTION at this point:
if($user->save()) {
$profile_id = $user->id;
$profile = Profile::find($profile_id);
if(count($profile) > 0) {
$profile->gender = $data['gender'];
$profile->city = $data['city'];
$profile->state = $data['state'];
$profile->aboutmyself = $data['aboutmyself'];
$profile->fb = $data['fb'];
$profile->twitter = $data['twitter'];
$profile->gp = $data['gp'];
$profile->instagram = $data['instagram'];
$profile->personal_site = $data['personal_site'];
$profile->aboutme = $data['aboutme'];
$profile->linkedin = $data['linkedin'];
$profile->pinterest = $data['pinterest'];
// $profile = $user->profile()->save($profile);
$profile->save();
OR Probably from the VIEW Opening Form route/variable $user
{!! Form::model($user, array('route' => 'post.edit.profile', 'method' => 'post', 'class' => 'form-horizontal')) !!}

Answer 1

In User Model set all tables fields $fillable
protected $fillable = ['name', 'email', 'password','phone','country','gender'];
