CodePudding user response：

On edit_customer you are setting your method to PATCH and you are defining your route as PUT, please change one to match the other.

CodePudding user response：

You are using route group prefix “customer”, so your url in the form should be prefixed

url('customer/update_customer', [ 'cust' => $cust->id ]

https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/routing#route-group-prefixes

Route::prefix('customer')->middleware(['auth','verified'])->name('customer.')->group(function(){
 Route::get('/',[HomeController::class,'index']);
 Route::get('cdash', Cdash::class)->name('cdash');
 Route::get('edit_customer/{id}',[Profile::class,'edit_customer'])->name('edit_customer');
 Route::put('update_customer/{id}',[Profile::class,'update_customer'])->name('update_customer');

Your url for the from, to hit the update_customer function should be customer/update_customer/{id}

so this

<form action="{{ url('customer/profile_update', [ 'id'=> $cust->id ]) }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">

should look like this

<form action="{{ url('customer/update_customer', [ 'id'=> $cust->id ]) }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">

And a good practice is tou use route name instead of urls, so better to be

<form action="{{ route('customer.update_customer', [ 'id'=> $cust->id ]) }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
