php - Laravel - query from database and save to another

Solution:

You can do it in in the same controller class by adding a new function inside it. Here is the sample code.

class YourController extends Controller
{

public function bookSchedule()
{
    //here we are getting the data from the table
    $s = Schedule::where('id','=',98)
                ->select('colomn_1','colomn_2')
                ->get()
                ->toArray();
    // here we are storing it back to the bids table
    Bids::insert($s);
}
Copy code

Hope the answer has helped you.

Solution:

first of all you should show some examples of what have you done,

also your database connection file

however you should connect the 2 databases inapp/config/database.php like the following

<?php
return array(

    'default' => 'mysql',

    'connections' => array(

        # Our primary database connection
        'mysql' => array(
            'driver'    => 'mysql',
            'host'      => 'host1',
            'database'  => 'database1',
            'username'  => 'user1',
            'password'  => 'pass1'
            'charset'   => 'utf8',
            'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
            'prefix'    => '',
        ),

        # Our secondary database connection
        'mysql2' => array(
            'driver'    => 'mysql',
            'host'      => 'host2',
            'database'  => 'database2',
            'username'  => 'user2',
            'password'  => 'pass2'
            'charset'   => 'utf8',
            'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
            'prefix'    => '',
        ),
    ),
);
Copy code

and then in the controller you can chose which database you are talking to for example$users = DB::connection('mysql2')->select(...);
