This is just a quick Laravel snippet on how to log SQL to the log file. You just need to enable logging for DB , run SQL ( and then turn off or leave on its up to you).
DB::enableQueryLog();
$results = DB::select( $someSql ) ;
Log::debug(DB::getQueryLog());
DB::disableQueryLog();
Oh and remember to include the classes you’re using (usually at the top of your file).
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
