my controller

   public function new_approvel_update(Request $request, $id)
{

    if($request->digital_signature == 'WITH DIGITAL SIGNATURE'){

    $input= Student::Where('delete_status','NOT DELETED')->find($id);
    $input['center_approved'] = strtoupper ('APPROVED');
    $input['date_of_join'] = $request->date_of_join;

    }elseif($request->digital_signature == 'WITHOUT DIGITAL SIGNATURE'){

    $input= Student::Where('delete_status','NOT DELETED')->find($id);
    $input['center_approved'] = strtoupper ('NOT-APPROVED');
    $input['date_of_join'] = $request->date_of_join;
