php - Laravel 5: Access database data from within model -

i'm trying use laravel access data database. have setup model, works fine, i'm trying fetch data table creating method within model fetches data , sets property of model equal fetched data.

to fetch data, i'm trying use $this->id property fetch row's id , use fetch data table (eg: someothermodel::where('other_id', '=', $this->id)->get();)

however, none of data database seems have been fetched model @ point (eg: $this->id null). constructor looks so:

public function __construct() {     parent::__construct();     $this->other_data = $this->getotherdata(); } 

is there way call $this->id property database can use within model itself?

your syntax seemed me wrong:

someothermodel::where('other_id', '=', $this->id)->get(); 

can try this:

someothermodel::where('other_id', $this->id)->get();

i hope helps .
