Simple insert using eloquent in Laravel 4

Question

I am trying to insert single data into db in Laravel 4 but failed to do so after trying for 3 hrs.

Below is code snippet,

Model

User.php

class User extends Eloquent
{
  protected $table='users';
  protected $protected = array();
}

Migration

class CreateUserInfoTable extends Migration {

/**
 * Run the migrations.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function up()
{
    Schema::create('users', function($table)
    {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->string('name');
        $table->string('cntNo');
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}

/**
 * Reverse the migrations.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function down()
{
    Schema::drop('users');
}

}

Controller

UserController.php

public function post_create()
{
    User::create(array('name'=>Input::get('name'),'cntNo'=>Input::get('cntno')));
}

Routes.php

Route::post('new/create', array('uses'=>'UserController@post_create'));

But I am not able to even insert into database.

app-->config-->database.php

<?php

return array(

/*

'default' => 'mysql',

    ),

),

    'cluster' => false,

),

);

Have you selected the correct database? Does your database have the table? Are you sure Input::get('name') and Input::get('cntno') are set? Just some suggestions :) — Jerodev
Input::get('name') and Input::get('cntno') both are having valid values(i.e. they are set), How to know that you have selected the correct database or table? I have changed the database.php pls check the edit. — krohit
What error do you get? I can see a few things that might cause it — David Jones
You need to turn debug to true in your app/config/app.php file to get more information — David Jones

See the Laravel docs for Mass Assignment. All you need to do add a fillable property to your model:

protected $fillable = array('name', 'cntNo');

That will allow you to 'mass assign' your properties in a create method.

public function post_create()
{
    $user = new User;

    $user->name = Input::get('name');
    $user->cntNo = Input::get('cntno');

    $user->save();
}
