How to find last insert id in Laravel 5
If the table has an auto-increment I d, use insertGetId to insert a record and retrieve the Key afterwards. Some times the user inserts a record into the table and finds the inserted I d and inserts another table with this I d.
$insert_id = DB::table('hold_history')->insertGetId(
['loat_no' => "GJHAEF",
'hold_for' => "alex",
'on_hold_by' => '250',
'status' => '1'
]
);
