如何使用where子句从Laravel 4中的模型中选择数据

Question

I have been trying to figure out how to do a simple select where on a table for a few hours now. I was trying to follow this page but nothing I seem to try is working. Here is my model code with nothing in it.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use BaseModel;

class Redemption extends BaseModel {


}

And here is the code I am trying to use in my controller.

$row = RedemptionModel::where('code', '=', Input::get('redemption_code'))->get();
var_dump($row);exit;

And here is the resulting data

object(Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection)#162 (1) { ["items":protected]=> array(0) { } }

I know that the db is working fine and the model is working fine because if I do RedemptionModel::find(1) that works. Also, if you know any good places to find ORM Laravel code with better examples please let me know.

Answer 1

get fetches a Collection object, which is essentially an array of items, even if there's only one result. In other words, your $row is actually row* s *.

If you want a single result, you can use first() instead of get() .
