Get the Last Inserted Id Using Laravel Eloquent

Question

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.

Answer 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);
