Class name must be a valid object or a string Laravel 5.7

I want to save a new record, but Laravel gives me this error Class name must be could object or a string. my code;

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $question = new Question;
    $question->question = $request->question;
    $question->question_type_id = $request->question_type;
    $question->user_id = $request->Auth::id();
    $question->save();
}

Note: My PHP version is latest .i.e., 7.1.9

The correct syntax for dynamic object key is:

$question->user_id = $request->{Auth::id()};

or if you just want the auth ID, then it is:

$question->user_id = Auth::id();

I assume you created an input field that has a name of the user’s id and you are trying to access it with:

$request->Auth::id()

Which for a user with a user id of one, I assume you are asking to pass request item $request->1.

This won’t work as Auth::id() is being passed as a literal. Accessing the request object it’s complaining saying "hey, I can’t accept a class as a variable name, please stop!"

If this is in fact what you are trying to do, and Auth::id() works (I never used that, I typically use Auth::user()->id), then you would have to pass the function within parentheses like this:

$request->(Auth::id())

I have fixed this issue, thanks to aynber for sorting out my issue. I have changed

$question->user_id = $request->Auth::id();

to

$question->user_id = Auth::id();
