overriding create eloquent model

I want to get the the id of the last inserted row in a database so I created a static field in my model:

    public static $lastid;

and I try to override the create method:

public static function create($data){
    parent::create($data);
    $lastid = DB::getPdo()->lastInsertId();
}

now I have an Error exception saying:

Declaration of Actor::create() should be compatible with Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model::create(array $attributes)

how can I make this work?

When you use the Model::create method you can grab the ID straight from the result.

$actor = Actor::create(array('name' => 'Jason'));

dd($actor->id);

You shouldn't need to use the lastInsertId method from the PDO object.

Here, the keyword array before $data will print a fatal error if the data are not an array. Like is said in the error, your class extends Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model and should be compatible with his parent.

public static function create(array $data = array()){
    parent::create($data);
    $lastid = DB::getPdo()->lastInsertId();
}
