Trying to get column data from pivot table laravel - php

Question

Hi I'm trying to output a certain column from my pivot table. To show you what I have tried, I will first show you my models (my pivot tables are ordertasks and tagtasks):
Task table:
class Task extends \Eloquent {
// Add your validation rules here
public static $rules = [
// 'title' => 'required'
];
// Don't forget to fill this array
protected $fillable = ['task_name','task_description','hour','difficulty'];
public function ordertask()
{
//oneToMany
return $this->hasMany('Ordertask', 'id_task', 'id');
}
public function tagtask()
{
//oneToMany
return $this->hasMany('Tagtask', 'id_task', 'id');
}
}
Tagtask table:
<?php
class Tagtask extends \Eloquent {
protected $fillable = ['id_tag','id_task'];
public function task()
{
//manyToOne
return $this->belongsTo('Task', 'id_task', 'id');
//return $this->belongsTo('Task');
}
public function tag()
{
//manyToOne
return $this->belongsTo('Tag', 'id_tag', 'id');
}
}
Ordertask table:
<?php
class Ordertask extends \Eloquent {
// Add your validation rules here
public static $rules = [
// 'title' => 'required'
];
// Don't forget to fill this array
protected $fillable = ['id_order','id_task', 'hour', 'hourprice','id_user', 'createdBy'];
public function user()
{
//manyToOne
return $this->belongsTo('User', 'id_user', 'id');
//return $this->belongsTo('User');
}
public function task()
{
//manyToOne
return $this->belongsTo('Task', 'id_task', 'id');
//return $this->belongsTo('Task');
}
}
Here is my TaskController.php with the following piece of code:
public function index()
{
$Tasks=Task::with('tagtask','ordertask')->get();
return View::make('user.tasks.index', compact('Tasks'));
}
Okay now comes the part where I want to show $Task->ordertask['id_user'] on my browser with the following piece of code:
#if (count($Tasks))
<ul>
#foreach($Tasks as $Task)
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
<li>
{{--as a third parameter we need to pass in the id of task, because it needs to be fed to
our actual user.task.edit route. --}}
{{link_to_route('user.tasks.edit', $Task['task_name'], array($Task->id))}}
</li>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<li>
{{$Task->ordertask['id_user']}}
</li>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<li>
{{$Task['task_hour']}}
</li>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<li>
{{Form::open(array('route'=>array('user.tasks.destroy',$Task->id),
'method'=>'delete','class'=>'destroy'))}}
{{Form::submit('Delete')}}
{{Form::close()}}
</li>
</div>
</div>
#endforeach
</ul>
#endif
Unfortunately that doesn't work because I get the following error:
Undefined index: id_user
Instead of:
{{$Task->ordertask['id_user']}}
I have also tried this just to see what output it gave me:
{{$Task->ordertask}}
Which gave me the following output:
[{"id":5,"id_order":2,"id_task":1,"hour":63,"hourprice":15,"id_user":5,"createdBy":4,"created_at":"2014-10-13 10:21:33","updated_at":"2014-10-13 10:21:33"}]
So gladly I want to output id_user from the ordertask table. Gladly I'm waiting on your answer. Anyway thanks for your response.

Answer 1

One Task can have many order tasks, so to display users instead of
{{$Task->ordertask['id_user']}}
You should use:
#foreach ($Task->ordertask as $ot)
{{ $ot->id_user }}
#endforeach
