Get the Last Inserted Id Using Laravel Eloquent

I'm currently using the below code to insert data in a table:

<?php

public function saveDetailsCompany()
{
    $post = Input::All();

    $data = new Company;
    $data->nombre = $post['name'];
    $data->direccion = $post['address'];
    $data->telefono = $post['phone'];
    $data->email = $post['email'];
    $data->giro = $post['type'];
    $data->fecha_registro = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
    $data->fecha_modificacion = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

    if ($data->save()) {
        return Response::json(array('success' => true), 200);
    }
}

I want to return the last ID inserted but I don't know how to get it.

Kind regards!

Solution 1:

After save, $data->id should be the last id inserted.

$data->save();
$data->id;

Can be used like this.

return Response::json(array('success' => true, 'last_insert_id' => $data->id), 200);

For updated laravel version try this

return response()->json(array('success' => true, 'last_insert_id' => $data->id), 200);

Solution 2:

xdazz is right in this case, but for the benefit of future visitors who might be using DB::statement or DB::insert, there is another way:

DB::getPdo()->lastInsertId();

Solution 3:

If the table has an auto-incrementing id, use the insertGetId method to insert a record and then retrieve the ID:

$id = DB::table('users')->insertGetId([
    'email' => '[email protected]',
    'votes' => 0
]);

Solution 4:

For anyone who also likes how Jeffrey Way uses Model::create() in his Laracasts 5 tutorials, where he just sends the Request straight into the database without explicitly setting each field in the controller, and using the model's $fillable for mass assignment (very important, for anyone new and using this way): I read a lot of people using insertGetId() but unfortunately this does not respect the $fillable whitelist so you'll get errors with it trying to insert _token and anything that isn't a field in the database, end up setting things you want to filter, etc. That bummed me out, because I want to use mass assignment and overall write less code when possible. Fortunately Eloquent's create method just wraps the save method (what @xdazz cited above), so you can still pull the last created ID...

public function store() {

    $input = Request::all();
    $id = Company::create($input)->id;

    return redirect('company/'.$id);
}

Solution 5:

**** For Laravel ****

Firstly create an object, Then set attributes value for that object, Then save the object record, and then get the last inserted id. such as

$user = new User();        

$user->name = 'John';  

$user->save();

// Now Getting The Last inserted id

$insertedId = $user->id;

echo $insertedId ;
