SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'updated_at' in 'field list' (SQL: insert into login_history ( phoneno , login_date , updated_at , created_at ) values (1, 2015-12-14 08:55:25, 2015-12-14 08:55:25, 2015-12-14 08:55:25))

Answer 1

You don't have created_at and updated_at columns in your table that Eloquent expects all models have by default. Either create those columns or simply disable timestamps for that model by setting $timestamps property accordingly:

class LoginHistory {
  protected $timestamps = false;
}

Answer 2

This is because you do not have the field updated_at in your database table.
Make sure to add:

$table->timestamps()

to your migration and re-migrate the database ( or update the table ).

This will add the fields created_at and updated_at .

Answer 3

The reason for this error is simple. Laravel by default assumes that your table has created_at and updated_at fields. hence, ->save() method tries to store the timestamps as you can see in the query.

If you do not want these to be included, add public $timestamps = false; in your Model.
