City::find($id);

returns an object.

Try this code.

public static function deleteCity()
	{
		$id = $_GET['id'];
		$dd = City::find($id);
		if($id == $dd->id)
		{
		return var_dump('cool');
			//return array(True, array('message'=>'This has now been updated'));
		}else
		{
		return var_dump('not');
			//return array(False, array('message'=>'This has now been updated'));
		}
	}

Hi, No its still returning false. The string is '67' so it should be true

array(1) { [0]=> array(3) { ["query"]=> string(54) "select * from cities where cities.id = ? limit 1" ["bindings"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(2) "67" } ["time"]=> float(1.15) } }

First of all, why would you want to do that validation? In my opinion

$id = $_GET['id'];
$dd = City::find($id);

is useless.

It's simpler to delete an object using:

City::destroy($id);

Second, where is this output from?

array(1) { [0]=> array(3) { ["query"]=> string(54) "select * from cities where cities.id = ? limit 1" ["bindings"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(2) "67" } ["time"]=> float(1.15) } }

Third, if you have an id field in your City model, you can get it using

$city = City::find($id); $city->id;

I am only learning Laravel. No, there is not much point to it. But I wanted to get the value from the form and make sure it matched the value from the database and if it matched return the result to a confirmation page, otherwise send it to an error page.

Seeing that it will be a post request the value should always be true but I wanted to see how I can set conditions and return pages

Oh, ok then.

Which fields do you get when you execute:

var_dump($dd);

?
