Column not found: 1054 Unknown column '0' in 'field list' - Laravel - I don't have a 0 column anywhere in my code

Question

I\'m getting this weird error:

SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column \'0\' in \'field list\' (SQL: update forum_threads set

Answer 1

The error is due to ->update(['locked', 1]); which should be ->update(['locked' => 1]);

the update function uses an array as "column" => "value", your syntax error causes Laravel to think [ 0 => 'locked', 1 => 1], so it translates to this SQL SET 0 = 'locked', 1 = 1...
