I am just doing my first exercises with Illuminate (Laravel) on my currently handmade database and website. I would like to improve by using MVC and found Illuminate interesting to use for the interaction with my database.
I worked the day on this bloody tiny code and can't find the problem and I hope someone out there has a good idea for me. Many thanks!
Basic question: Why can't I iterate over the courses to the given semester? While it is possible to call a specific course.
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model as Eloquent;
class Semester extends Eloquent {
protected $table = "tblSemester";
protected $primaryKey = "SemesterID";
public function getCourses() {
// test if semester is correct
echo $this->SemesterID, " - ", $this->Semestertext, "<br>";
// This works fine and returns the expected result
$course = $this->hasMany('Course', 'Semester')->first();
echo $course->Number, " - ", $course->Title;
// This doesn't work. It returns nothing.
// There seems to be no data in $courses (just metadata)
$courses = $this->hasMany('Course', 'Semester');
foreach ($courses as $course) {
echo $course->Number, " - ", $course->Title;
echo "<br>";
}
return "<h1>" . "Test ends" . "</h1>";
}
}
Many thanks! Tim
