Question

I´m trying to get the date from an user in my DDBB, them, I have 2 customer in a table.
The schema is called - customers
The table is called - names
And names has two columns, id and name, its very simple. I have added two persons in my table, Tony and Bob.
In laravel, in the app folder, I have created a new php file, and I put this:
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Customer extends Model{
}
And I have this code in my .env file:
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=customers
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root
Then, I just want get my first customer, Tony, and in routes.php I have write this:
Route::get('customer', function(){
$customer = App\Customer::find(1);
print_r($customer);
});
When I run the application, I get this message:
FatalErrorException in routes.php line 23:
Class 'App\Customer' not found
I would like to get something, but I don´t know what happen. Thanks.

Answer 1

$customer = new Customer;
$customer->name = $request->name;
$customer->mobile_number = $request->mobile_number;
$customer->mail = $request->mail;
$request->name.......this name and $request->Mobile_number,$request->mail is .... form field name.

Answer 2

It says - Class 'App\Customer' not found.
Seems your class Customer is not loaded. Make sure, your Customer model is in App folder. Also the file name must be Customer.php. Also the class name must start with C(Capital) - Customer. And also make sure, you have defined the namespace as follows in Customer model.
namespace App;
Example
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Customer extends Model
{
protected $table = 'customer';
}
And try like this and see ?
Route::get('customer', function(){
$customer = \App\Customer::find(1);
print_r($customer);
});
