Seeding Problem - Array to string conversion
Hi,
I'm pretty new to Laravel and I just got in on the Laracasts Black Friday promotion and I'm so excited.
I'm hoping somebody can help me with this.
When I try to seed my database with a model factory, I'm getting the following error:
[Illuminate\Database\QueryException]
Array to string conversion (SQL: insert into `proposals` (`user_id`, `title`, `prepared_for`, `phone`, `email`, `client_needs`, `number_of_pages`, `cms`, `analytic

Here's a Gist showing my model factory code and also the migration I used to create the table:

I can provide additional info if needed. Where did I go wrong?
Thanks in advance for any assistance :)

Looks like it was
'client_needs' => $faker->paragraphs,
Paragraphs returns an array. I had to change it to "paragraph"

@bahamagician $faker->paragraphs() accepts two arguments optionally, the number of paragraphs, and a boolean for whether or not to return as an array or string

You may use $faker->paragraph, or as described by @bahamagician $faker->paragraphs($number -of- paragraphs, $true -for-string return);
