How to check with latest row in Laravel

I’m trying to check if the user’s otp code is correct.

My User_Otp table is structured as below.

id | code | user_id | created_at | updated_at

Sample Data is:

id | code | user_id | created_at | updated_at

19 | 1234 | 27 | 10:12:26 | 10:12:26

20 | 1235 | 27 | 10:12:27 | 10:12:27

21 | 1236 | 27 | 10:12:28 | 10:12:28

I want to only allow user verified when he enter 1236 as otp code because it is the latest code as he tried to resend otp code.

I used below code to achieve this but not working:

$userOtp = UserOtp::where('code', request('code'))->where('user_id', request('user_id'))->latest('created_at')->first();
if ($userOtp) {
    // verified
}

>Solution :

The latest function does only order the result, not filter. This means you will always get a result if the code exists, you could do something like this:

$userOtp = UserOtp::where('user_id', request('user_id'))->latest('created_at')->first();
if ($userOtp->code === request('code')) {
    // verified
}
