Tinkering in Tinker and failing

Did you restart the command line tinker after generating the class? In case tinker is already open when you change code it won't take affect until you exit and tinker again.

Also, check namespaces and a little composer dump-autoload never hurts :)

@LilyBelle thanks for your help Lily, I think it does have to do with the namespace... I changed 'App' to 'MYPROJECT' and it works, but it's returning this string of numbers, any idea what this means?

$article = new MYPROJECT\Article;
=> <MYPROJECT\Article #000000001b391d690000000154d1b832> {}

I am able to add values to my database but it's still returning that string of numbers

>>> $article->title = 'My First Article';
=> "My First Article"
>>> $article-body = 'Lorem ipsum';
PHP Parse error: Syntax error, unexpected '=' on line 1
>>> $article->body = 'Lorem Ipsum';
=> "Lorem Ipsum"
>>> $article->published_at = Carbon\Carbon::now();
=> <Carbon\Carbon #000000001b391d690000000154d1b832> {
       date: "2015-04-07 16:28:58.000000",
       timezone_type: 3,
       timezone: "UTC"
   }
>>> $article;
=> <stdClass #000000001b391d470000000154c5e732> {
       title: "My First Article",
       body: "Lorem Ipsum",
       published_at: <Carbon\Carbon #000000001b391d690000000154d1b832> {
           date: "2015-04-07 16:28:58.000000",
           timezone_type: 3,
           timezone: "UTC"
       }

Thanks again for your help!

@thinkjay It's just a hash of the object - if two variables (being objects) have the same number, it means they are pointing to the same object: $first === $second.

@thinkjay I don't understand what you mean at all... Where are you not getting the objects?

Disregard, my issue was with the namespace and it's resolved.

Hi, guy do you can post the solution? I have even problem

I get the same error, however, if I then run:

$article

I find that the object was created, even though I got the error that is mentioned by the OP.

Thus, the code is working, if you can stomach the error message.
