class Category extends Eloquent {
public function images()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Image');
}
}
Then do:
$images= Categorie::find($catid)->images;
In this case, your pivot table is 'category_image', but if you need to choose another name, it must be specified
return $this->belongsToMany('Image', 'your_pivot_table_name', 'cat_id', 'item_id');
