I'm trying to update the password of a user I've pulled from the database in Laravel 4. Here is what I have:
$user = User::where('username', $username)->get();
if (!empty($user)) {
$user->password = Hash::make($password);
$user->save();
}
But Laravel is telling me save is an unknown method. What am I doing wrong here?
get returns an array of users. You need to use first to get a single user object that will allow you to adjust the password and save the record.
if ($user = User::where('username', $username)->first())
{
$user->password = Hash::make($password);
$user->save();
}
Are you sure $user actually has a 'user' in it?
It wont be 'empty' - it will be BOOL false. Try var_dump($user) and confirm something is returned?
Try this:
$user = User::where('username', $username)->get();
var_dump($user);
if ($user) {
$user->password = Hash::make($password);
$user->save();
}
