A user model with it's relationships

User.php

<?
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
    public function photos()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('\App\Photo');
    }
    public function posts()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('\App\Post');
    }

    // this is the recommended way for declaring event handlers
    public static function boot() {
        parent::boot();
        self::deleting(function($user) { // before delete() method call this
             $user->photos()->each(function($photo) {
                $photo->delete(); // <-- direct deletion
             });
             $user->posts()->each(function($post) {
                $post->delete(); // <-- raise another deleting event on Post to delete comments
             });
             // do the rest of the cleanup...
        });
    }
}

Could you add <? at the beginning so the code gets colored ?

Ok I will, thanks
