    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlInput1" name="name" placeholder="{{ auth()->user()->name }}" >
    <small>Type your name as given on the placeholder</small>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">

            <div class="row">
  
                <div class="col-md-6">
                    <input type="file" class="form-control" name="imogi">

            </div>
            <small>Select business logo if any or implicating image</small>
            <br/>
            <br/>
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send</button>
        </form>
        <br/>
</form>
        </div>
    </div>

…below is my controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Kind;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class KindController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function display(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'name'=>'required',
            'organazation'=>'required',
            'country'=>'required',
            'title'=>'required',
            'message'=>'required',
            'contact'=>'required',
            'imogi'=>'required'
           
        ]);
        $Kind = new Kind;
        
        $Kind->name = $request->input('name');
        $Kind->organazation = $request->input('organazation');
        $Kind->country = $request->input('country');
        $Kind->title = $request->input('title');
        $Kind->message = $request->input('message');
        $Kind->contact = $request->input('contact');
        $Kind->imogi = $request->input('imogi');
        $Kind->save();

        return redirect()->back();

    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Kind  $kind
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function show(Kind $kind)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Kind  $kind
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit(Kind $kind)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \App\Kind  $kind
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request, Kind $kind)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  \App\Kind  $kind
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function destroy(Kind $kind)
    {
        //
    }

And this is my route

Route::POST(‘/kind’, ‘KindController@display’)->name(‘kind’);

Data is being submitted in the database from user input, but that`s not what i want…i want to capture authenticated user name without user manually inserting it

>Solution :

You need to pass the username through the value attribute, but make the input element read-only like this:

<input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlInput1" name="name" value="{{ auth()->user()->name }}" readonly>
