$comments = comments::where('post_id', '=', $post_id)->first();

On a side note... Models are generally singular and start with an uppercase letter, ie Comment

$comments = Comment::where('post_id', '=', $post_id)->first();

$comments = Comment::where('post_id', '=', $post_id)->first();

This returns a null value. Also:

<?php
class Comments extends Eloquent {   
   
	protected $table = 'comments';
}

Do you have relations between posts and comments models?

In that case

class Post extends Eloquent {   
   public function comments()
   {
       return $this->hasMany('Comment');
   }
}

class Comment extends Eloquent {   
   public function post()
   {
       return $this->belongsTo('Post');
   }
}

one to many relationship

$comments = Post::find($id)->comments;

Thank you, could you explain the hasMany and belongsTo function to me, because right now I understand that they link together somehow, but if you could tell me how it works I would have a much better understanding. I did read the documentation on it, but it didn't really cover how it works.

Look for database design tutorials/books. They will explain much better than I could.
