How can i retrieve table count in a database by using eloquent in Laravel?

Question

Please am trying to display student count from my database into the H3 Tag( The Number of rows ) in my dashboard.blade.php . I want to display the number of students in the database when the dashboard opens. i have tried my very best but it isn't working out for me. I need help. Below is what i have done so far. Thanks

<span>
<img src="{{ asset('images/studentIcon.png') }}" style="width: 70px; height: 70px; border-radius: 50%">
      <h3 style="color: red">  echo $displaycount </h3>
      <p class="cardtext">Registered Students</p>
</span>

This my route

Route::get('/dashboard', 'StudentRegister@getCount');

StudentRegister.php controller file Model File Name is Student

        public function getCount(){

        $nStudents = Student::where 1;
        $displaycount = $nStudents->count();
    }

Answer 1

I think you have a syntax error, can you try this one:

$nStudents = Student::where('id', '<=', $correctedComparisons)->count();

Or (in case you don't have any condition to filter about)

 $count = Student::count();
