Rename table using migration in Laravel

Question

I am running a migration to rename a table but I get an odd error.

public function up()
{   
    Schema::rename($accounts, $feeds);
}   

public function down()
{   
    Schema::rename($feeds, $accounts);
}   

Error:

Undefined variable: accounts

Table definitely exists. Any idea what might be the issue?

You should use string and not variable:

public function up()
{   
    Schema::rename('accounts', 'feeds');
}   

public function down()
{   
    Schema::rename('feeds', 'accounts');
}
