Laravel雄辩的where子句问题

Question

I have the following structure of the table:

`id` int(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`user_id` int(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`order` int(11) NOT NULL,
`category` varchar(50) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`created_at` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL,
`updated_at` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL

I have five confirm records in table where i am querying table like this :

$recommended = App\\Recommend::where('category', '=', 'editorpicks');

But the result comes empty, Let me paste the column name and value against it straight from DB.

column name : category

value : editorpicks .

Why its not working.

I have tried it in tinker also.

Answer 1

App\Recommend::where('category', 'editorpicks')->get();

Note, you don't need to use "=" in where, if no conditional is provided, the where clause will default to equals . get() grabs the collection. You could also do first() to grab first single record, last() , find($id) , etc.

It's also good practice to namespace the model as well. So add use App\\Recommend to top of controller (I'll assume this already makes sense) and then just use $recommended = Recommend::where(... . Keep things clean.
