Laravel Eloquent $model->save() not saving but no error

Question

When updating my Post model, I run:

$post->title = request('title'); $post->body = request('body');  $post->save(); 

This does not update my post. But it should according to the Laravel docs on updating Eloquent models. Why is my model not being updated?

• I get no errors.
• The post does not get updated in the db.
• Besides not being updated in the db, nothing else seems odd. No errors. Behavior as normal.
• Result of running this test to see if save succeeded was true.
• This Laravel thread was no help

Post model:

class Post extends Model {     protected $fillable = [         'type',         'title',         'body',         'user_id',     ];     .... } 

Post controller:

public function store($id) {     $post = Post::findOrFail($id);      // Request validation     if ($post->type == 1) {         // Post type has title         $this->validate(request(), [             'title' => 'required|min:15',             'body' => 'required|min:19',         ]);          $post->title = request('title');         $post->body = request('body');     } else {         $this->validate(request(), [             'body' => 'required|min:19',         ]);          $post->body = request('body');     }      $post->save();      return redirect('/'); } 

Bonus info

Running dd($post->save()) returns true.

Running

$post->save();  $fetchedPost = Post::find($post->id); dd($fetchedPost); 

shows me that $fetchedPost is the same post as before without the updated data.

Answer 1

Check your database table if the 'id' column is in uppercase 'ID'. Changing it to lower case allowed my save() method to work.
