I am starting development in Laravel and I have to implement new features on a site developed in Laravel 4.2 and by another programmer.
I need to create a function that adds lines to a Log-style table that needs to be accessible throughout the project.
public function logEmail( $email ){}
Create a model with this function? How to include the model in order to have this function accessible anywhere?

You will create a model (Eloquent) with all settings relevant to the table that refers to your model.
Example
<?php
class Log extends Eloquent
{
public $table = 'logs';
public $primaryKey = 'id';
public $timestamps = true;
protected $fillable = array('description');
public function getDates()
{
return array('created_at','updated_at');
}
}
Having a table similar to this layout referencing the Eloquent model above.
CREATE TABLE `test`.`logs`
(
`id` BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`description` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL ,
`created_at` TIMESTAMP NULL ,
`updated_at` TIMESTAMP NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
Function:
$log = Log::create(array('description' => 'info'));
This line above inserts a record in the table of logs (the fields are not informed created_at and updated_at, because they are automatically generated).
That would be the basic functioning, where in any Local you could call this line to create a Log. In general you can make a line in the BaseController being the same responsible in always recording a Log in all the classes that inherited from this BaseController.
Example:
class BaseController extends Controller {
public function __construct()
{
}
protected function setupLayout()
{
if ( ! is_null($this->layout))
{
$this->layout = View::make($this->layout);
}
}
//método padrão de LogEmail
protected function logEmail($email)
{
return Log::create(array('description' => $email));
}
}
No seu controller
<?php
class BuscaController extends BaseController
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function index()
{
$this->logEmail('[email protected]');
return Redirect::route('index.home');
}
}
This link of the site itself has all the settings of Eloquent and how it should be used.

The question, at this moment, is not related to the code itself, but in relation to the functioning of MVC, in this case in Laravel 4. I will have public Function logEmail( $email ){ which will be called in several places of the project. The question is: Do I create a new model? How do I "call" the model in order to access the function?
