Laravel database operations are based on eloquent ORM, and there are several ways to insert data, and the results will not be different:
1, insert will return TRUE or false after insert;
2. The inserted data element will be returned when the Create insert succeeds;
3, Firstorcreate inserts the inserted data element, but if there is a timestamp, the timestamp will be converted to a 4-character string (int is 4 characters), still need to be resolved;
4, firstornew Insert also need to add save to ensure that the insertion is successful, and successfully return the inserted data element;
5, new A model, in the form of objects to operate, and finally save, such as
$flight New Flight; $flight $request, name; $flight->save ();
Summary: If you simply insert the data without getting the inserted results, insert can be, create, firstorcreate, firstornew These forms need to fill in the model all the fields fillable, in order to ensure that the insert is complete, Otherwise some will be the default value exists, but the default value is sometimes more convenient;
