Testing a variable against 3 tables in Laravel - php

Question

i am having a hard time getting this code block to work:
public function verifyPayment(Request $request)
{
$transaksie = Transaksie::where('trans_nommer', $request->trans_nommer)->firstOrFail();
$transaksie->is_paid = 4;
$transaksie->save();
// Notify user that transaction was successfull
$transaksie->user->notify(new PaymentVerified($transaksie));
// Merk die sertifikaat as verkoop
if($request->sert_nommer >= 1003333) {
$sertifikaat = Alternate::where('sert_nommer', $request->sert_nommer)->firstOrFail();
$sertifikaat->is_paid = 4;
$sertifikaat->save();
}elseif($request->sert_nommer <= 1003604) {
$sertifikaat = Share::where('sert_nommer', $request->sert_nommer)->firstOrFail();
$sertifikaat->is_paid = 4;
$sertifikaat->save();
}elseif($request->sert_nommer <= 50000) {
$sertifikaat = Aandeel::where('sert_nommer', $request->sert_nommer)->firstOrFail();
$sertifikaat->is_paid = 4;
$sertifikaat->save();
}
// Notify seller that transaction was approved
$sertifikaat->user->notify(new BetalingSuccess($sertifikaat));
$sertifikate = Alternate::orderBy('id','DESC')->first();
$old_sert = $sertifikate->sert_nommer;
$aandeel_sert = $old_sert + 1;
$transaksie->user->alternates()->create([
'sert_nommer' => $aandeel_sert,
'user_id' => $transaksie->user->lid_nommer,
'aantal_aandele' => $transaksie->aandele,
'nfc_bedrag' => $transaksie->nfc,
'status_id' => 3,
'is_paid' => 2,
]);
$alt_sertifikate = Alternate::orderBy('id', 'DESC')->first();
$tweede_sertifikaat = $alt_sertifikate->sert_nommer;
$nfc_sert = $tweede_sertifikaat + 1;
$transaksie->user->alternates()->create([
'sert_nommer' => $nfc_sert,
'user_id' => $transaksie->user->lid_nommer,
'aantal_aandele' => $transaksie->aandele,
'nfc_bedrag' => $transaksie->nfc,
'status_id' => 3,
'is_paid' => 2,
]);
// Notify user van nuwe sertifikaate en stuur mail deur queue
$user = $transaksie->user;
dispatch(new StuurSertifikate($aandeel_sert,$nfc_sert,$transaksie,$user))->onQueue('emails');
return redirect()->back()->with('success','Betaling was geverifieer!');
}
What i am trying to achieve is that the $request->sert_nommer must check if it is in the Alternates table, Share table or the Aandeel table. All this code works on my local server with no errors but when I test this on my production server I get a 404 when it reaches this part of the query

Change your query a little bit and it should work (not tested):
if($request->sert_nommer >= 1003333) {
$sertifikaat = Alternate::where('sert_nommer', $request->sert_nommer)->first();
if($sertifikaat){
$sertifikaat->is_paid = 4;
$sertifikaat->save();
}
}elseif($request->sert_nommer <= 1003604) {
$sertifikaat = Share::where('sert_nommer', $request->sert_nommer)->first();
if($sertifikaat){
$sertifikaat->is_paid = 4;
$sertifikaat->save();
}
}elseif($request->sert_nommer <= 50000) {
$sertifikaat = Aandeel::where('sert_nommer', $request->sert_nommer)->first();
if($sertifikaat){
$sertifikaat->is_paid = 4;
$sertifikaat->save();
}
}
The findOrFail and firstOrFail methods will retrieve the first result of the query; however, if no result is found, a Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException will be thrown. If the exception is not caught, a 404 HTTP response is automatically sent back to the user.
