Using Eloquent ORM

Question

This is my Messages Model , this table has two Foreign Keys id_from and id_to , both from the User table. How can I establish this by using eloquent in Laravel?

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Messages extends Model
{


    public function user(){
        return $this->hasMany('App\User','id','id_from');
    }

    public function user(){
        return $this->hasMany('App\User','id','id_to');
    }

    protected $primaryKey = 'id';
    protected $table = 'messages';
    protected $fillable = ['id_to','id_from','message'];
    public $timestamps = false;

}

Answer 1

You should use tow diferent functions for that :

public function userFrom(){
    return $this->hasMany('App\User','id','id_from');
}

public function userTo(){
    return $this->hasMany('App\User','id','id_to');
}

And one more thing is that the name of the function must be in camelCase
