I am going to read the data by query, manipulate some values and write it back to the db. I use the code below but I get an error.
$data = DB::table('users')->get()->toArray();
foreach ($data as $d){
$d->id = $id+100;
DB::table('users')->insert($d);
}
Argument 1 passed to Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::insert() must be of the type array,
but the input is already an array. Do you have a better solution for this?
Ok. let's explain this, what ->toArray() actually did is converting the whole collection to array not casting the selected records to array so if you dd($data) you will find it's an array of objects not array of arrays, so what you need to do is to cast each record in the selected records like so
$data = DB::table('users')->get()->map(function ($user) {
return (array) $user;
})->toArray();
as i said
->toArray() - this will convert the whole collection to array
(array) $user - this will convert the selected record to array
you can simply use increment function
DB::table('users')
->increment('id', 100);

In Laravel 8 Backend app with output
$var->toArray())
if $var is collection of models, then array of model values is outputted
But if $var - is array, which generated as :
$permissions = Permission
::orderBy('name', 'asc')
->get()
->map(function ($permissionItem) use ($userPermissions) {
return $permissionItem;
})
->all();
$permissions - would be array of models. Can I to convert it into collection and use toArray() to it ?
Thanks!
Don't call all on your Collection. Calling all gives you the array of items. Just don't call all if you want to keep it as a Collection.
If you are not in control of that call then you would need to make a Collection from your array and then do what you want with it:
collect($var)->toArray()
I want to update a totcosty field in the User table but it is throwing this error everytime and it is not updating the field
this is the function for execution:
public static function cost(){
$user = User::find($user_id);
$total = Helper::totcost();
// dd($tot_amt);
$user->totcosty = $total;
$user->save();
}
array to string means you are sending an array to the database but db will not accept it you have to explode() the array before sending it to db...
Hope it will help!
If you really want to store an array in some table field, then better declare it as a JSON field. For this, your DB should have support for JSON type columns.
See here how to do this.
Once this is done, you can save arrays in that column, you can assign an array value to the model property and laravel will convert it to JSON while saving and also it will be converted to array while retrieving.
I want to get all the data of today's Date, but during getting it I want to apply an operation on the data of one column only NOT others. This operation is from another function.
$data = Net::whereDate('created_at', Carbon::today())->get();
I have two options:
During getting data, call to that function on the specific column
After getting data, put a loop and then apply that operation and save data into new object
In this table, there is a column called profit, and I want to encode this profit into alphabets by calling encode_code() function remaining the other data as it is.
I don't know how I can do this, please help me if anyone knows.
You can use a foreach loop to get each object from the collection and for each of those object,call the desired function.
$data = Net::whereDate('created_at', Carbon::today())->get();
foreach($data as $key => $dat)
{
$data[$key]->profit = encode_code($dat->profit);
}
I think you should call the function and turn it like this
I just didn't know what you wanted to do, so this is my best
$data = Net::whereDate('created_at', Carbon::today())->get();
foreach($data as $i => $d){
$data[$i]->profit = encode_codeļ¼$d->profit);
}
Of course you could loop through your result and encode each row, but this would prevent you from reusing this code.
Instead you could put that encode function directly into the model, so that you can reuse it everywhere:
public function getEncodedProfit() {
return encode_code($this->profit);
}
Now you can just use this function everywhere in your controllers or views like that:
echo $net->getEncodedProfit();
$user_emails = ["email_1#domain.com", "email_2#domain.org"];
$users = Users::whereIn("email", $user_emails);
The table for users also has a phone column for each user. What's the best way to get a list/array of the phone number as an array?
$users->all()->phone(); // Like (which is not correct)
Try to use get() like :
$users = Users::whereIn("email", $user_emails)->get(['phone'])->toArray();
Or also pluck() like :
$users = Users::whereIn("email", $user_emails)->pluck('phone')->all();
Hope this helps.
Use pluck method to fetch a specific column's values and then use toArray on returned Collection object to get results as an array.
$phoneNumbers = Users::whereIn("email", $user_emails)->pluck('phone')->toArray();
You can get all column data with get()
Example:
$user = $user::where('email', $user_emails)->get();
You can get the list with foreach loop method.
I am having trouble while updating session array value in laravel 5. Here is my function,
public function postCartItemAdd()
{
$id = Request::input('id');
Session::push('items', $id);
dd(Session::all());
}
Instead of pushing a new id into the array it just replaces the existing value leaving single item. Am I doing something wrong?
The problem is the session is saved as a flash data. So, you need to save the session whenever you push the data.
$request->session()->push('user.items', 'item1');
$request->session()->push('user.items', 'item2');
$request->session()->save();
or try this
$items = Session::pull('items');
$items[] = $id;
Session::push('items', $items);
umm i think you used it wrong,
see the DOC
it says
Session::push('user.teams', 'developers');
user is the array and we gonna put a value developers to that array with teams key
so then you need to use it in your case as,
Session::push('items.id', $id);
OR if you need to maintain items as an array with default keys like 0,1,2,3... to put the ids, then items should be an array
so there should be a something like,
Session::put('items', []);
then you can use Session::push('items', $id);
if you need to push ids in to same array as you tried.
