I don't know if it will fix your problem but you don't need the parenthesis after Game.

$game = new Game

thank you @eriktisme, but that doesn't work.

I'm not sure if it will give you the answers you need but if you throw http://laravel.io/bin/zwW4r into your routes file you should be able to see what is being sent to your DB. I would start there to make sure the sql you intend is being sent. If it is then I would try var_dump-ing the game object before saving. If that doesn't solve it let us know, I'll do some testing to help if I can.

The code you have doesn't insert anything twice, so there are 2 things I can think of:

1. You visit the page twice for some reason
2. You have an event listener registered that inserts the same thing for the 2nd time under the hood - for example for such events: Game::saving or Game ::saved event

Hi kulkarp,

Did you define the app/config/database.php file?

Did you create the database and the migrations for it?

@jarektkaczyk Thank you the response.

Even I thought the same thing - visiting page twice, but I am sure that isn't the case. No, I am not even sure how to define event listener in php/laravel, so no I haven't done anything like that.

Hi kulkarp,

Did you define the app/config/database.php file?

Did you create the database and the migrations for it?

@codeATbusiness yes, I have defined database.php. I created the database manually, but the single table and alterations to it using migrations.

try to use a diferrent path

    Route::get('/add', function(){
       $game = new Game();
       $game->name = 'Assasins Creed';
       $game->description = "Assasins Vs Templars";
       $game->save();
    }); 

does it still add it two times?
