How to Get the Query Executed in Laravel 5

Better Stack Team
Updated on November 23, 2022

By default, the query log is disabled in Laravel 5:

Don’t worry, you can enable the query log by running the following:

 
// enable query log
DB::enableQueryLog();

Then you can display the log like this:

 
// get the query log
dd(DB::getQueryLog());

Or alternatively, you can register an event listener and listen for logs:

 
DB::listen(
    function ($sql, $bindings, $time) {
        //  $sql - contains the SQL query
    }
);
