Laravel database insert query

Question

I'm trying to do simple insertion in database and im getting the following error

call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, no array or string given

The insertion code look like this

DB::insert('insert into users (id, name) values (?, ?)', array(1, 'Dayle'));

It's a basic query for laravel, but it won't work why?

Answer 1

$user['id'] = 1;
$user['name'] = 'dale';

DB::table('users')->insert($user);

Answer 2

DB::table('users')->insert(
     array(
            'id'     =>   '1', 
            'name'   =>   'Dayle'
     )
);

or

$values = array('id' => 1,'name' => 'Dayle');
DB::table('users')->insert($values);

But why are you inserting an ID? Should this not be an auto incremented value?
