Question

I wrote a code to login or register users.I used updateOrCreate function to add user if not exist an update a column that is name is verifcode if user exist

controller

users Table:
id(auto increment primary key)|phone|verifcode|timeStmp
---------------------------------
    $phone=Input::get('phone');
    $code=rand(1001,9999);
    $user = new user;
    $user = array('phone'=>$phone);
    user::updateOrCreate($user,['verifcode' => $code]);

Model:

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class user extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'users';
    protected $fillable = array('phone', 'verifcode','timeStmp');
    protected $guarded = array('id');
    protected $primaryKey = "id";
    public $incrementing = false;
    const CREATED_AT= false;
    const UPDATED_AT = false;

}

with this code i have folowing error: array_key_exists(): The first argument should be either a string or an integer that point to vendor\\laravel\\framework\\src\\Illuminate\\Database\\Eloquent\\Concerns\\HasAttributes.php file.

i just know that error point to secound argument of UpdateOrCreate function.

thanks for help

Answer 1

If you take a look at the Laravel documentation , you're just using the updateOrCreate method wrong. Look at the flight example there.

In your case it should look like this:

$phone = \Input::get('phone')
$code  = rand(1001, 9999);
$user  = User::updateOrCreate(
           ['phone' => $phone],
           ['verifcode' => $code, 'timeStmp' => \Carbon::now()->timestamp]
         );

Answer 2

If you see at the Model class of laravel framework code, you can note, that updated_at is stored only when it is not dirty .

    if (! $this->isDirty(static::UPDATED_AT)) {
        $this->setUpdatedAt($time);
    }

But isDirty method checks for nulls only.

public function isDirty($attributes = null)
{
    $dirty = $this->getDirty();

    if (is_null($attributes)) {
        return count($dirty) > 0;
    }

    if (! is_array($attributes)) {
        $attributes = func_get_args();
    }

    foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
        if (array_key_exists($attribute, $dirty)) {
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}

So just substitute false with NULL .

Answer 3

$phone=Input::get('phone');
$code=rand(1001,9999);
user::updateOrCreate(
    ['phone' => $phone]
    ['verifcode' => $code]        
);

See if it is work for you.

Answer 4

finally i solve it. by adding Created_at and Update_at columns to table and adding this two coulmn to $guarded in model like this protected $guarded = array('id','CREATED_AT','UPDATED_AT'); and then problem fixed
