Laravel 4 SQL log / console

Question

Is there something similar in Laravel that allows you to see the actual SQL being executed? In Rails, for example, you can see the SQL in console. In Django you have a tool

Answer 1

This code is directly taken form other source but i wanted to make it easy for you as follow it worked for me on PHPStorm using my terminal window i was able to see a complete log but ,after login there was some Sentry thing.

1.add

'log'=>true

inside your config/database.php and below the place ur database name ex.mysql

then add below code toroutes.php above all no under any route configuration , since u can make that under a give route configuration but , u only see when that route is called.

to see this output /goto / app/storage/log/somelogfile.log

if (Config::get('database.log', false))
{
    Event::listen('illuminate.query', function($query, $bindings, $time, $name)
    {
        $data = compact('bindings', 'time', 'name');

        // Format binding data for sql insertion
        foreach ($bindings as $i => $binding)
        {
            if ($binding instanceof \DateTime)
            {
                $bindings[$i] = $binding->format('\'Y-m-d H:i:s\'');
            }
            else if (is_string($binding))
            {
                $bindings[$i] = "'$binding'";
            }
        }

        // Insert bindings into query
        $query = str_replace(array('%', '?'), array('%%', '%s'), $query);
        $query = vsprintf($query, $bindings);

        Log::info($query, $data);
    });
}

Dont forget to make break point .... or ping me :)
