about this route
public function ChangeInformation(Request $request)
{
$validator = Validator::make(
$request->all(),
[
'name' => 'required',
'family' => 'required',
'mobile' => 'required',
],
[
'name.required' => 'لطفا نام خود را وارد کنید',
'family.required' => 'لطفا نام خانوادگی خود را وارد کنید',
'mobile.required' => 'لطفا موبایل خود را وارد کنید',
]);
if ($validator->fails()) {
self::$result_json['error'] = 1;
self::$result_json['error_code'] = 1;
self::$result_json['msg'] = $validator->messages()->first();
}
else{
$user = DB::table('user_app')
->where('id', $request->get('token'))
->first();
$input = $request->except('img');
/*if ($request->hasFile('img')) {
$file_param = $request->file('img');
$fileName = $file_param->getClientOriginalName();
$fileName = substr($fileName, 0, strrpos($fileName, '.'));
$fileName = str_replace(' ', '', $fileName);
$Random_Number = rand(0, 9999);
$name_file_new = $fileName . '-' . $Random_Number . '.' . $file_param->getClientOriginalExtension();
//$thumb_img = Image::make($file->getRealPath())->resize(100, 100);
$destinationPath = 'uploads/avatars/';
$file_param->move($destinationPath, $name_file_new);
$path_file = 'uploads/avatars/' . $name_file_new;
$input['img'] = $path_file;
}
else {
self::$result_json['error'] = 1;
self::$result_json['error_code'] = 1;
self::$result_json['msg'] = 'تصویر نادرست است .';
}*/
DB::table('user_app')
->where('id',$user->id)
->update($input);
$city = DB::table('cities')
->where('id', $input['shahr'])
->first();
$state = DB::table('state')
->where('id', $input['ostan'])
->first();
$user_data = DB::table('user_app')
->where('id',$user->id)
->select('account_type', 'address','email','card_bank', 'shahr as city',
'family', 'id', 'mobile', 'name', 'img', 'phone', 'role', 'ostan as state', 'zip_code')
->first();
$user_data->city = $city;
$user_data->state = $state;
self::$result_json['success'] = 1;
self::$result_json['user_data'] = $user_data;
}
it worked when I send data in form_data but do not work in raw when i send my data

Answer 1

you need to convert your associative array into json object format using "json_encode() function" which is string, postman cannot read array, I hope this one will do
