First of all I am new to Laravel framework, so please bear with me. I am creating an e-commerce website and created a registration page. The problem is whenever I fill the registration form and press register button the page will refresh but the data I filled will not be updated in MySQL database.
the registration file.
registration.blade.php
`
@extends('layouts.master')
@section('content')
@section('title', 'Register')
<section class="login-page">
<div class="login-form-box">
<div class="login-title"> Register</div>
<div class="login-form">
<form action="{{route('register')}}" method="post">
@csrf
<div class="field">
<label for="name">name</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="john" >
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="email">email</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="name" placeholder="[email protected]" >
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="password">password</label>
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" placeholder="******" >
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="passowrd_confirmation">confirm password</label>
<input type="password" id="password" name="passowrd_confirmation" placeholder="******" >
</div>
<div class="field">
<button type= "submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Register</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</section>
@endsection
`
Also, here the route file in laravel
web.php
<?php
use AppHttpControllersAuthController;
use AppHttpControllersPagesController;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesRoute;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
Route::get('/', [PagesController::class, 'home'])->name('home');
Route::get('/cart', [PagesController::class, 'cart'])->name('cart');
//Auth
Route::get('/login', [AuthController::class, 'showLogin'])->name('login');
Route::get('/register', [AuthController::class, 'showRegister'])->name('register');
Route::post('/register', [AuthController::class, 'postRegister'])->name('register');
And here is the file for registration functions
AuthController.php
`
<?php
namespace AppHttpControllers;
use AppModelsUser;
use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesAuth;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesHash;
class AuthController extends Controller
{
//show login page
public function showLogin()
{
return view('pages.login');
}
//show register page
public function showRegister()
{
return view('pages.register');
}
//register user
public function postRegister(Request $request)
{
//validation
$request->validate([
'name' => 'required|min:3|max:255',
'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
'password' => 'required|min:8|confirmed'
]);
//registration
$user = User::create([
'name' => $request->name,
'email' => $request->email,
'password' => Hash::make($request->password),
]);
//login user
Auth::login($user);
return back()->with('success','succesfully Logged in');
}
}
`
here is my Database in phpmyadmin after filling the form:
users database
I tried to use showRegister function in my AuthController.php in order to check if the data being filled can be seen in the webpage. However, I was not able to see anything.

Display errors and old values
First of all, I suggest you to update your view to display errors when using validation, and display old values:
If the validation has no success, no changes will be made. Try to display if the validation has passed:
This will help you to find errors.
Take a look at the official Laravel validation documentation
Try to check validation errors messages in registration.blade.php file
