title: Call to undefined function in Laravel 8
body: <p>I'm working with Laravel 8 to develop my project, and in this project, I have created a <code>store()</code> method for inserting some items into the database.</p>
  <pre><code>public function store(Request $request)
  {
      // validate
      $this-&gt;validate($request, [
          'subject' =&gt; 'required|min:5',
          'thread' =&gt; 'required|min:10',
      ]);
  
      // store
      $thread = create($request-&gt;all());
  
      // redirect
      return back()-&gt;withMessage('Thread Created!');
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>But now the problem is, whenever I try it, I get this message:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><strong>Error</strong> Call to undefined function App\Http\Controllers\create()</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>What is going wrong here, and how can I fix this issue?</p>
