How to get the Last data from Database using Laravel - php

Question

I am trying to get a column of the last data in the database but so far, I am getting all the data in the database in an array.
This is my code;
public function NewID(){
$adminid=Auth::user()->admin_id;//cooperative ID
$newid = Member::select('member_id')->where('admin_id', '=',$adminid)->get();
return View::make('admin.member.addmember')
->with('NewID', $newid);
}
I have updated the code to be this base on suggestions;
public function NewID(){
$adminid=Auth::user()->admin_id;//cooperative ID
$newid = Member::select('member_id')->where('admin_id', '=',$adminid)->orderBy('id', 'desc')->first();
return View::make('admin.member.addmember')
->with('NewID', $newid);
}
and I am using a For Loop to display data on the view
#foreach ($NewID as $NewIDs)
{{$NewIDs->member_id}}
#endforeach
My error is now ErrorException:Trying to get property of non-object
Answer
I finally got it to work
I used this instead
public function NewID(){
$adminid=Auth::user()->admin_id;//cooperative ID
$newid = Member::select('member_id')->where('admin_id', '=',$adminid)->orderBy('id', 'desc')->take(1)->get();
return View::make('admin.member.addmember')
->with('NewID', $newid);
}

Well, a lot of things could be wrong, so what you should do is find the cause. In you view file, temporarily remove the foreach loop and replace it with {{ dd($NewID) }}. This will 'dump and die' the value of $NewID.
Additionally, I suggest you stick to variable naming conventions. Variables should start lowercase. Also it is confusing to call a collection of Members NewID and a single instance of a member NewIDs. Sticking to the convention helps you and others to read and debug your code.
