Laravel get Eloquent relation by same name as its attribute

Question

I have database tables like this:

shoot: id, name, programme
programme: id, name

The eloquent relationship in the shoot is defined like thi

Answer 1

You shouldn't use the same name for the both relationship and column name, else you'll receive always the column name so try to edit one of them, I think the easiest one here is the relationship name :

public function programmeObj() {
    return $this->belongsTo('App\Programme', 'programme', 'id');
}

Then call it as :

echo $shoot->programmeObj;

NOTE : But if you want to follow conventions you should replace the name attribute by programme_id so :

public function programme() {
    return $this->belongsTo('App\Programme', 'programme_id', 'id');
}

Hope this helps.
