How to 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.

Any help?

Hello @kartik,

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 = 'Niroj';  

$user->save();

// Now Getting The Last inserted id

$insertedId = $user->id;

echo $insertedId ;

Hope it helps you!!
