Increment columns in laravel

Is there a way to increment more than one column in laravel?

Let's say:

DB::table('my_table')
->where('rowID', 1)
->increment('column1', 2)
->increment('column2', 10)
->increment('column3', 13)
->increment('column4', 5);

But this results to:

Call to a member function increment() on integer

I just want to find an efficient way to do this using the given functions from laravel. Thanks. Any suggestions will do.

Solution

  • There is no existing function to do this. You have to use update():

    DB::table('my_table')
   ->where('rowID', 1)
   ->update([
       'column1' => DB::raw('column1 + 2'),
       'column2' => DB::raw('column2 + 10'),
       'column3' => DB::raw('column3 + 13'),
       'column4' => DB::raw('column4 + 5'),
   ]);
