Hi.

First, the View::with takes 2 arguments, not three. So you would have to do like ->with('recording', $recording)->with('credits', $credits);

But i REALLY think that eloquent relationships is what you seek here. Read more at http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#relationships

Thanks for the suggestion. I've looked at that page and I haven't been able to get relationships to work that way.

I'm assuming (based on this page) that this: return $this->hasOne('Phone'); needs a second class in the model since Phone is the name of a class. At least that's how I'm reading it. Is this correct?

Also, I don't understand how to display the results from credits.

So, to break it down, I've got:

Song Title [related songs_titles table] Recording Info [recording table]

Credit A [related credits table which is related to a names table and a roles table] Credit B [related credits table which is related to a names table and a roles table] Credit C [related credits table which is related to a names table and a roles table] Credit D [related credits table which is related to a names table and a roles table] etc.

Along with other related info on the page that will have to be displays like Credits.

Am I missing something that's obvious in the documentation?

Could you show the structure of database first?

Yes, here it is.
