Thanks @cre-mer, that did the trick! However, you need to move 127.0.01 (or ::1 for that matter) up as the first address to check. I didn't work for me when e.g. Googles (8.8.8.8) was first.

If you're buying now, you're buying a certain version of Spark. That version will be updated at long as it's supported. It's based on Laravel 6, which is a long term support (LTS) version.

When the next version comes out, you upgrade for half the price. Or you can just continue to use the one you bought as long there are updates for it. Laravel 6 is supported until 3rd September 2022.

Without providing more details and error messages it will be difficult to help you. However, you can just pull in jQuery via CDN like this:

<script

"Licenses are valid for an entire major release "series". In other words, a license entitles you to all updates until the next series release. That current series is Spark Aurelius (initially released February 2018) and includes Spark 6.0+. New series are released roughly once every two years. Many minor updates are made throughout a series release and all of those updates are free to existing customers. Each license may only be used on a single site unless it is an "unlimited" license."

-- https://spark.laravel.com/licenses

However, upgrading from an old license (v5 in my case) is only $49 (vs $99):

"This will upgrade your license to the latest version of Spark, granting you access to its source code. License upgrades are offered at a 50% discount to existing Spark customers."

This pops up every now and again, the points are at least 4 years old

As this user points out, the 2 major points are mostly:

1. Eloquent/Active Record

Answer: Don't use it then. You can just use the Query Builder.

1. Facades

Answer: Don't use it then. They are also disabled in Lumen (though can be enabled with $app->withFacades()).

Apart from that, Larastan is a static analyzer that understands Laravel magic and you can use barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper for your IDE as he pointed out in his article.

It depends, what kind of database do you have?

I can recommend laravel-backup, which can produce a (gzipped) mysqldump file and put it on any kind of file system, e.g. S3 bucket in another region. It can also back up your user data. You can run that with the scheduler however often you need.

On top of that we don't run the databases ourselves but use managed databases for MySQL, PostgreSQL and Redis on DigitalOcean, which has a daily backup and you can restore to any point in the last week. AWS RDS has even more options.

It really depends on what kind of backup you need. Is it for a hobby side project, fast paced startup or big corporate setting? And how fast it would have to be available and how much you are willing to pay for it?

Also have a look at Percona Xtra Backup

One simple idea would be some kind of mutex, e.g. in a database. So the first job would set a mutex and the last one unlocks it. Meanwhile, if another queue worker picks up the next batch, it won't start and can just sleep() a reasonable time. Probably not the the most elegant or Laravel-ish solution...

First of all, it seems like you want to compare if (x = y), but you're actually using the assignment operator = instead of comparing with ==.

Apart from that, you can loop through these attributes and use ->$attribute. Not sure if that's what you were looking for.

$attributes = ['email', 'about', 'skills']; // ...
foreach($attributes as $attribute) {
	if($user->$attribute = request($attribute)) {
		$user->save();
	}
}

If the user is not logged in you will get a problem with Auth::user()->id. Just use Auth::id(), which would return null if no user is found. You would also need to check that or just e.g. findOrFail().

I would build a method around it and build a new array with the min and max so you can go through then look it up by the original key.

Divide and conquer ;-)

1. explode by or
2. str_replace £ and k with ''
3. explode by - to get min and max (except for the last one, so check count before you access [1]

What @corban used is the Eloquent ORM: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/eloquent. The idea is to have a PHP class for every table in your database. There is also a good laracasts episode about that here: https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-5-fundamentals/episodes/8

The first argument of with() has to match the variable name in the view. Because you used ->with('name', $select), you will find the variable in the view as $name, not $users or $select.

Another way of doing this is:

$users = DB::select('select * from users ')->get();
return view('index', compact('users'))

You will need to set up Eloquent Relationships like so: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/eloquent-relationships:

public function shop()
{
    return $this->hasOne(Shop::class);
}

Then you can access a products shop like: $product->shop.

For distance calculation based on latitude/longitude, you will have to look into spatial related articles, that's a bit long for a forum answer. Check out e.g. https://medium.com/@brice_hartmann/getting-started-with-geospatial-data-in-laravel-94502dc74d55
