Timestamps in Laravel 5 got 0000-00-00

Question

I have just started using Laravel 5 and I have problem with timestamps. When I seed a table, everything going good and I get e.g.

created_at
"2015-04-04 20:02:21"

updated_at
"2015-04-04 20:02:21"

But when i use Order::insert(array()) i get:

created_at
"0000-00-00 00:00:00"

updated_at
"0000-00-00 00:00:00"

In laravel 4 I need not set timestamps manually, so I believe, I need not do it there too.

As I can see you're using Eloquent. Instead of using insert() method you should create new record in DB like this:

$order = new Order;
$order->save();

In this case Eloquent will maintain the created_at and updated_at columns on your database table automatically
