I didn't understood the question completely. Can you please try to be more specific? You can use response()->json by the way instead of json_encode. And can you please try including the entire error stack? — Helper, Jul 15 '20 at 08:00

I am not sure, but you can replace those two lines :

$portal=Oex_portal::where('id',$request->id)->get()->first();
$portal->update();

With

$portal=Oex_portal::find($request->id); //you can use findorfail as well
$portal->save();

besides, you are supplying the email instead of id in the view:

 <input type="hidden" name="id" value="{{ $portal_info->email }}">

you are using the update method on the model without passing any data into it. When you directly modify a models attribute with $portal->name = "test"; you then need to use the save method $portal->save(); when using the update you need to do like so.

$portal = Oex_portal::where('id', $request->id)->get()->first();
if ($portal) {
    $data = [
        'name' => $request->name,
        'email' => $request->email,
        'mobile_no' => $request->mobile_no,
    ];

    if ($request->password != '') {
        $data['password'] = $request->password;
    }

    $portal->update($data);
}

The above will cause a mass assignment exception without adding them to the fillable fields in the model. you are best to keep what you have and just throw a save instead of an update.

p.s. whats with your models name havning an underscore? why not OexPortal
