[php] 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!

There are several ways to get the last inserted id. All are based on what method do you used when inserting. In your case you can get last Id like the following:

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

For others who need to know how can they get last inserted id if they use other insert methods here is how:

• Using create() method

  $book = Book::create(['name'=>'Laravel Warrior']);

  $lastId = $book->id;

• Using insertGetId()

  $id = DB::table('books')->insertGetId( ['name' => 'Laravel warrior'] ); $lastId = $id;

• Using lastInsertId() method

  $lastId = DB::getPdo()->lastInsertId();

Reference https://easycodesolution.com/2020/08/22/last-inserted-id-in-laravel/

Optional method will be:

$lastID = DB::table('EXAMPLE-TABLE')
                ->orderBy('id', 'desc')
                ->first();

$lastId = $lastProduct->id;

Source from Laravel 5.8 version

In laravel 5: you can do this:

use App\Http\Requests\UserStoreRequest;
class UserController extends Controller {
    private $user;
    public function  __construct( User $user )
    {
        $this->user = $user;
    }
    public function store( UserStoreRequest $request )
    {
       $user= $this->user->create([
            'name'              => $request['name'],
            'email'             => $request['email'],
            'password'          => Hash::make($request['password'])
        ]);
        $lastInsertedId= $user->id;
    }
}

public function store( UserStoreRequest $request ) {
    $input = $request->all();
    $user = User::create($input);
    $userId=$user->id 
}

You can do this:

$result=app('db')->insert("INSERT INTO table...");

$lastInsertId=app('db')->getPdo()->lastInsertId();

Using Eloquent Model

use App\Company;

public function saveDetailsCompany(Request $request)
{

$createcompany=Company::create(['nombre'=>$request->input('name'),'direccion'=>$request->input('address'),'telefono'=>$request->input('phone'),'email'=>$request->input('emaile'),'giro'=>$request->input('type')]);

// Last Inserted Row ID

echo $createcompany->id;

}

Using Query Builder

$createcompany=DB::table('company')->create(['nombre'=>$request->input('name'),'direccion'=>$request->input('address'),'telefono'=>$request->input('phone'),'email'=>$request->input('emaile'),'giro'=>$request->input('type')]);

echo $createcompany->id;

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);
}

Here is how we can get last inserted id in Laravel 4

public function store()
{
    $input = Input::all();

    $validation = Validator::make($input, user::$rules);

    if ($validation->passes())
    {

     $user= $this->user->create(array(
            'name'              => Input::get('name'),
            'email'             => Input::get('email'),
            'password'          => Hash::make(Input::get('password')),
        ));
        $lastInsertedId= $user->id; //get last inserted record's user id value
        $userId= array('user_id'=>$lastInsertedId); //put this value equal to datatable column name where it will be saved
        $user->update($userId); //update newly created record by storing the value of last inserted id
            return Redirect::route('users.index');
        }
    return Redirect::route('users.create')->withInput()->withErrors($validation)->with('message', 'There were validation errors.');
    }

This worked for me in laravel 4.2

$id = User::insertGetId([
    'username' => Input::get('username'),
    'password' => Hash::make('password'),
    'active'   => 0
]);

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
]);

Refer: https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/queries#inserts

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();

After

$data->save()

$data->id will give you the inserted id,

Note: If your autoincrement column name is sno then you should use $data->sno and not $data->id

After saving a record in database, you can access id by $data->id

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

$objPost = new Post;
$objPost->title = 'Title';
$objPost->description = 'Description';   
$objPost->save();
$recId = $objPost->id; // If Id in table column name if other then id then user the other column name

return Response::json(['success' => true,'id' => $recId], 200);

**** 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 ;

After Saving $data->save(). all data is pushed inside $data. As this is an object and the current row is just saved recently inside $data. so last insertId will be found inside $data->id.

Response code will be:

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

You can get last inserted id with same object you call save method;

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

So you can simply write:

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

Use insertGetId to insert and get inserted id at the same time

From doc

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

By Model

$id = Model::insertGetId(["name"=>"Niklesh","email"=>"[email protected]"]);

By DB

$id = DB::table('users')->insertGetId(["name"=>"Niklesh","email"=>"[email protected]"]);

For more details : https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/queries#inserts

After saving model, the initialized instance has the id:

$report = new Report();
$report->user_id = $request->user_id;
$report->patient_id = $request->patient_id;
$report->diseases_id = $request->modality;
$isReportCreated = $report->save();
return $report->id;  // this will return the saved report id

You can use $this constructor variable to achieve "Last Inserted Id Using Laravel Eloquent" (without adding any extra column) in current function or controller.

public function store(Request $request){
    $request->validate([
        'title' => 'required|max:255',
        'desc' => 'required|max:5000'
    ]);

    $this->project = Project::create([
        'name' => $request->title,
        'description' => $request->desc,
    ]);

    dd($this->project->id);  //This is your current/latest project id
    $request->session()->flash('project_added','Project added successfully.');
    return redirect()->back();

}

For get last inserted id in database You can use

$data = new YourModelName;
$data->name = 'Some Value';
$data->email = '[email protected]';
$data->save();
$lastInsertedId = $data->id;

here $lastInsertedId will gives you last inserted auto increment id.

For Laravel, If you insert a new record and call $data->save() this function executes an INSERT query and returns the primary key value (i.e. id by default).

You can use following code:

if($data->save()) {
    return Response::json(array('status' => 1, 'primary_id'=>$data->id), 200);
}

Although this question is a bit dated. My quick and dirty solution would look like this:

$last_entry = Model::latest()->first();

But I guess it's vulnerable to race conditions on highly frequented databases.

You can also try like this:

public function storeAndLastInrestedId() {
    $data = new ModelName();
    $data->title = $request->title;
    $data->save();

    $last_insert_id = $data->id;
    return $last_insert_id;
}

The shortest way is probably a call of the refresh() on the model:

public function create(array $data): MyModel
{
    $myModel = new MyModel($dataArray);
    $myModel->saveOrFail();
    return $myModel->refresh();
}

For insert()

Example:

$data1 = array(
         'company_id'    => $company_id,
         'branch_id'        => $branch_id
     );

$insert_id = CreditVoucher::insert($data1);
$id = DB::getPdo()->lastInsertId();
dd($id);

Using Eloquent Model

$user = new Report();        
$user->email= '[email protected]';  
$user->save();
$lastId = $user->id;

Using Query Builder

$lastId = DB::table('reports')->insertGetId(['email' => '[email protected]']);

Here's an example:

public static function saveTutorial(){

    $data = Input::all();

    $Tut = new Tutorial;
    $Tut->title = $data['title'];
    $Tut->tutorial = $data['tutorial'];   
    $Tut->save();
    $LastInsertId = $Tut->id;

    return Response::json(array('success' => true,'last_id'=>$LastInsertId), 200);
}

Here it is how it worked for me, family_id is the primary key with auto increment I am using Laravel7

    public function store(Request $request){
        $family = new Family();
        $family->family_name = $request->get('FamilyName');
        $family->family_no = $request->get('FamilyNo');
        $family->save();
        //family_id is the primary key and auto increment
        return redirect('/family/detail/' .  $family->family_id);
    }

Also in the Model Family file which extends Model, should have the increment set to true otherwise the above $family-->family_id will return empty

    public $incrementing = true;
  

You can easily fetch last inserted record Id

$user = User::create($userData);
$lastId = $user->value('id');

It's an awesome trick to fetch Id from the last inserted record in the DB.

In Laravel 5.2 i would make it as clean as possible:

public function saveContact(Request $request, Contact $contact)
{
   $create = $contact->create($request->all());
   return response()->json($create->id,  201);
}
