Laravel profile edit - laravel

Question

Alright , I have used this way to save the users info and It works perfect,
static public function memberSave($request) {
$signup = false;
$member = new Members();
$member->name = $request['name'];
$member->email = $request['email'];
$member->password = bcrypt($request['password']);
$member->save();
if (!empty($member->id)) {
$new_id = $member->id;
DB::insert("INSERT INTO roles VALUES ($new_id, 5613)");
$signup = true;
Session::flash('sm', 'Thank you! You have signed up successfully!');
}
return $signup;
}
but when making this for editing the profile(by user) It doesn't work
becuase I use new(); (making object)
I also didn't succeed to use find(); so I tried to use this
static public function saveProfile($id,$name,$email,$password) {
$sql = "UPDATE members SET name=?,email=?,password=? WHERE id=?";
$member = DB::select($sql, [$name,$email,$password,$id]);
but when I want to bcrypt the password in laravel doesnt work .
this is the code also in the second page
public function postProfile(ProfileValidation $request) {
if (Members::saveProfile($request['id'], $request['name'], $request['email'], $request['password'])) {
return redirect('');
}
}
I hope getting helped for editing the users profile by laravel , thanks.

Answer 1

Your Members class must extend Eloquent\Model for following this code to work.
class Members extends Model {
// optional
protected $table = 'members';
...
To find and update the member using email,
// find the single member
$member = Members::where('email', request['email'])->first();
// update the member
$member->name = $request['name'];
$member->password = $request['password'];
// now save the updated member
$member->save();
In order to to encrypt Password, Laravel provides Hash Facade,
// import this
use Hash;
...
// encrypt Password
$encrypted = Hash::make($request['password']);
...

if you want your user automatically hash the password at your model put:
public function setPasswordAttribute($value)
{
$this->attributes['password'] = Hash::make($value);
}
and you can directly check for the user if exist create new or update it:
public function saveMember($request)
{
$member = Member::findOrNew($request->email);
//All your input you want to save
$member->save();
}
