I've recently just started with Laravel, and loving it - made this to update a user's data - is it too large? Am I doing it wrong? :)

/**
 * Update the specified resource in storage.
 *
 * @param  int  $id
 * @return Response
 */
public function update($id, UserEditRequest $request)
{
	$user = User::findOrFail($id);
    $passwordstatus = Hash::check($request->password, $user->password);
    $status = [
        'name' => false,
        'email' => false,
        'password' => false,
    ];

    if(!$passwordstatus)
    {
        return redirect()->route('user.edit', ['user' => $user->id])->with('error_message', 'Your password was entered incorrectly.');
    }

    /* Start name change */
    $name = $request->name;
    if(!empty($name) && $name != $user->name)
    {
        // Request isn't empty, and name isn't current name
        $user->name = $request->name;
        $status['name'] = true;
    }
    /* End name change */

    /* Start email change */
    $email = $request->email;
    if(!empty($email) && $email != $user->email)
    {
        $user->email = $request->email;
        $status['email'] = true;
    }
    /*End email change */

    /* Start password change */
    $new_password = $request->new_password;
    $newpasswordcheck = Hash::check($new_password, $user->password);
    if(!empty($new_password) && !$newpasswordcheck)
    {
        $user->password = Hash::make($new_password);
        $status['password'] = true;
    }
    /* Finish password change */
    $user->save();

    $template = "{$name}, we have successfully updated your ";
    $message = $template;
    $count = 0;
    foreach($status as $status_key => $status_value)
    {
        if($status_value)
        {
            if($count == 0)
            {
                $message.= $status_key;
            }else{
                $message .= ", ".$status_key;
            }
            $count++;
        }
    }

    if($status['password'])
    {
        $message.= ". Please log in with your new credentials.";
        \Auth::logout();
        return redirect('auth/login')->with('success_message', $message);
    }

    if($message == $template)
    {
        return redirect('/')->with('success_message', 'Updated nothing.');
    }

    return redirect('/')->with('success_message', $message);

}

In case you were wondering, none of the fields apart from my 'password' field is required, to make the user's experience easier :)
