Answer 1

You can't use {{ }} construction in controller, only in a view.

Try this:

public function request(Request $request, $id) {
        $book = DB::table('books')->where('id', $id)->first();
        $user_id = Auth::guard('web')->user()->id;
        DB::table('book_requests')->insert(
            ['book_id' => $book->id, 'user_id' => $user_id ]
        );
    }
