I'm trying to show an image that a user has uploaded as part of a recipe but keep getting an error:
Illuminate\Database\QueryException SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1
table recipes has no column named amount (SQL: insert into "recipes"
("image", "title", "servings", "ingredients", "amount",
"instructions", "user_id", "updated_at", "created_at") values
(uploads/U7lIutRFmbpyDz6EOUaExPGh5nYHElXZHcJv56CT.jpeg, pasta recipe,
4, pasta, 50g, cook it, 9, 2020-03-04 12:23:16, 2020-03-04 12:23:16))
It stores the image ok but nothing else.
Not sure on how to get the other fields to store either.
Below is the controller for recipes

Any help is much appreciated!

When it come to migrations, there's a general rule you should follow: Don't modify migrations after they have been run, unless you have the specific intent of re-running that migration. Generally, this requires a refresh of your database, and truncation of data.
You should make a new migration, like add_amount_to_recipies.php, which has the sole purpose of adding this new column in public function up(), and removing it in public function down():
public function up(){
Schema::table('recipies', function($table) {
$table->string('amount');
});
}
public function down(){
Schema::table('recipies', function($table) {
$table->dropColumn('amount');
});
}
Then, run php artisan migrate. This will add the column to the table without modifying the existing data.
