    Schema::create(\'lifestyle_questions\', function(Blueprint $table)
    {
        $table-&g         


        

Answer 1

You can pass a custom index name as the second parameter into the foreign() method. Or just use shorter table/column names.

So you want to do something like:

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('lifestyle_questions', function(Blueprint $table)
    {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->string('question');
        $table->timestamps();
    });

    Schema::create('lifestyle_question_answers', function(Blueprint $table)
    {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->integer('lifestyle_question_id')->unsigned();
        $table->foreign('lifestyle_question_id', 'lq_id_foreign')->references('id')->on('lifestyle_questions');
        $table->string('answer');
        $table->timestamps();
    });

    Schema::create('user_lifestyle_question_answers', function(Blueprint $table)
    {
        $table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
        $table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users');
        $table->integer('lifestyle_question_answer_id')->unsigned();
        $table->foreign('lifestyle_question_answer_id', 'lqa_id_foreign')->references('id')->on('lifestyle_question_answers');
    });
}
