Hello

I want to do a mass assignment from a request, but im facing some trouble with the autogenerated fields that laravel adds.

public function update(Request $request)
{  
     Deposit::where("department_id", 0)->update($request->input());
}

The problem with the above is that i get an error stating the following:

Column not found: 1054 Unknown column '_method' in 'field list' 

Which makes sense, since the _method is not a column in the db, but since i assign all the input with the $request->input() method it takes the '_method' field with it, which is added automaticly.

Is there a way to get around that?

And yes my model is enabled for mass assignment.

I've been able to fix it with following, but i would like a more correct solution

$update = array("keys" => $request->values, ....);
Deposit::where("department_id", 0)->update($update);
