fetching data from three tables in laravel - mysql

Question

The is the table structure,which basically has three tables,namely expenses,categories and sunbcategories
table expenses
(id,category_id,sub_category_id,date,description,amount)
table categories
(id,category_name)
table subcategories
(id,sub_category_name,category_id)
This is the SQL query that is needed
select expense.date, expense.description, expense.amount,
category.category_name, subcategory.sub_category_name
from expenses as expense,categories as category,subcategories as subcategory
where expense.category_id=category.id and
category.id=subcategory.category_id);
This is the function in Expense model with which I pass the category_id
The same query mentioned above is written in laravel, but I am not able to
fetch the data.
function fetchExpenseData($categoryId)
{
$expense = Expense::select("expenses.*","categories.category_name as
Categoryname","subcategories.Sub_category_name")
->join("categories","categories.id","=","expenses.category_id");
->join("subcategories",function($join)
{
$join>on("subcategories.category_id","=","expenses.category_id")
->on("suncategories.id","=","expenses.sub_category_id")
})->get();
return $expenses;
}
$expenses that are returned will be printed in blade.php.
Can I know what is the mistake
thanks in advance

Hye there ,
You need to add eloquent model for retrieving data fromenter code here three tables
Like
I have School Table , Student Table , Teacher Table
School is relating with both Student and Teacher then we will add relationship
In School Model
`
public function getStudent(){
return $this->hasMany('student_id' , App\Student);
}
public function getTeachers(){
return $this->hasMany('teacher_id' , App\Teacher);
}
In Student table
public function getSchool(){
return $this->hasOne('school_id' , App\School);
}
`
now call data from student
`
$students = Student::with('getSchool.getTeachers')->get()
This Demonstration for what I have get from your Question
