Laravel Eloquent Serialization

Question

I have a table where the Primary Key looks like this: 123456-789 in column id. When I request all the entries from my table using $allArray = $this->all()->toArray() I have an issue. All the data arrives as expected but the id now looks like this: 123456789. The id column is set as varchar(24) utf8_general_ci in the database.

When I print_r() my result from $all = $this->all() (without ->toArray()) I can see that the id was fetched currently 123456-789. Then I try to get the id again like echo $all[1]->id it is 123456789.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you :)

You should let your model know that primary key is not auto incrementing value else it will try to convert the primary key into an integer.

Simply add this to your model.

public $incrementing = false;
