I am trying to get specific data from the database by using column SongID
when a user clicks a link but I am getting this error:
SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'id' in 'where clause' (SQL: select * from
songs
whereid
= 5 limit 1)
The Controller Class:
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use DB;
class SongsController extends Controller {
public function index()
{
$name = $this->getName();
$songs = DB::table('songs')->get();
return view('songs.index', compact('songs','name'));
}
public function show($id)
{
$name = $this->getName();
$song = DB::table('songs')->find($id);
return view('songs.show', compact('song','name'));
}
private function getName()
{
$name = 'Tupac Amaru Shakur';
return $name;
}
}
Migration:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('songs', function($table)
{
$table->increments('SongID');
$table->string('SongTitle')->index();
$table->string('Lyrics')->nullable();
$table->timestamp('created_at');
});
}
When you use find()
, it automatically assumes your primary key column is going to be id
. In order for this to work correctly, you should set your primary key in your model.
So in Song.php
, within the class, add the line...
protected $primaryKey = 'SongID';
If there is any possibility of changing your schema, I'd highly recommend naming all your primary key columns id
, it's what Laravel assumes and will probably save you from more headaches down the road.
