Trying to get property of non-object while uploading to database - php

Question

I have a script when user can clip video, then that video uploads to public folder, and now I want to upload all video data to database. But i get error like in title. Here's my code:
Controller:
public function clip($id)
{
$video = Video::where('id', $id)->first();
$oldId = $video->id;
$originalName = $video->original_name;
$newName = str_random(50) . '.' . 'mp4';
FFMpeg::fromDisk('public')
->open('/uploads/videos/' .$video->file_name)
->addFilter(function ($filters) {
$filters->clip(FFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode::fromSeconds(5), FFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode::fromSeconds(2));
})
->export()
->toDisk('public')
->inFormat(new \FFMpeg\Format\Video\X264)
->save('/uploads/videos/' . $newName);
$data = ['user_id'=>Auth::user()->id,
'file_name'=>$newName,
'original_name'=> $originalName,
'old_id' => $oldId,
];
$video = Video::edit($data);
}
Model:
public static function edit($request)
{
$video = new Video;
$video->user_id = $request->user_id;
$video->file_name = $request->file_name;
$video->original_name = $request->original_name;
$video->save();
$old = $file = Video::where('id', $request->old_id)->delete();
//$old_file = unlink($request->file('file'));
return $video;
}
What should I edit?

Answer 1

Since you're passing array, you need to use $request['user_id'] syntax instead $request->user_id. You're getting the error because you're trying to treat the array as an object.
But since you have prepared array here, just use create method:
public static function edit($data)
{
$this->destroy($data['old_id']);
return $this->create($data);;
}
Don't forget to add $fillable array to your model to make it work.
