I was curious, I'm using Laravel and Artisan for my migrations. Is there a method to output information to the console? I can't seem to find any information on this. For example:
<?php
class Generate_Sample_Users{
public function up(){
//Echo to console here
echo "Creating sample users...";
$generator = new Sample_Data();
$user_count = 30;
$users = array();
for($i=0; $i < $user_count; $i++){
array_push($users, $generator->generate_user($i));
}
DB::table('users')->insert($users);
}
public function down(){
DB::table('users')->delete();
}
}
