My Answer:
In your controller function, you are updating the 'status' field in the post table with the entire Post object $stat instead of just the status value. You should update only the 'status' field with the status value like this:

php
public function newStatus($id, $status)
{
post::where('id', $id)->update(['status' => $status]);

return redirect('/postview')->with('M_status', 'Your Status has been updated!');
}


Also, in your blade file, you are assigning the status value instead of comparing it. Change the lines in the blade file to compare the status value like this:

html
@if ($post->status == 'publish')
Draft
@else
Publish
@endif


With these changes, your status update functionality should work correctly.
