Laravel database Insert error

Question

I trying to insert data to database using laravel 4 eloquent model. But throws the error:

"Call to undefined method Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request::save() "

I am new to laravel don't know where I Have gone wrong.

my UsersController.php code

public function postRequest() { 
    $request = new Request;
    $request->vms = Input::get('vms');
    $request->location = Input::get('location');
    $request->descr = Input::get('descr');
    $request->status = Input::get('status');
    $request->save();
}

My Request.php Model

<?php

class Request extends Eloquent {

    protected $table = 'requests';
    protected $fillable = array('vms', 'location', 'descr', 'status');

    public function ruser() {
        return $this->hasOne('Ruser'); // this matches the Eloquent model
    }
}

Answer 1

The problem is that your Request model name conflicts with Laravel Request class. You have two options:

1) Namespace your model:

<?php namespace App;

class Request extends Eloquent {

  ...

}

Then use it as:

$request = new App\Request;

2) Rename your model.

Answer 2

Seems like your hitting the laravel "Request" facade, instead of your Request model.

Could you try to prefix your new class call with the correct namespaces?

$request = new yourname\yourpackage\Request();

Or, best of all, call it something else?
