I like to do this witch i think is cleaner :

1 - Add the model to namespace:

use App\Employee;

2 - then you can do :

$employees = Employee::get();

or maybe somthing like this:

$employee = Employee::where('name', 'John')->first();

The problem here are PHP namespaces  You need to learn how to use them  As your controller are in App Http Controllers namespace  if you refer any other class  you need to add leading backslash  or proper namespace  or add use statement at the beginning of file  before class definition     So in your case you could use    headquote    DB  table  quotation texts  - gt find 176    headquote    App Quotation  find 176     or add in your controller class use statement so the beginning of your controller class could look like this    lt  php  namespace App Http Controllers   use DB  use App Quotation    For more information about namespaces you could look at How to use objects from other namespaces and how to import namespaces in PHP or namespaces in PHP manual

Use the backslash before db on the header and you can use it then typically as you wrote it before   Here is the example   Use  DB    Then inside your controller class you can use as you did before   like that ie      item   DB  table  items  - gt get
