Cannot update ARRAY data types

[SpareShade]

Hello and thank you for this handy library ...

I'm getting

ErrorException in helpers.php line 686:
preg_replace(): Parameter mismatch, pattern is a string while replacement is an array

where trying to use the DB facade for updating a table that contains 'array' data type.

ie.

$tags=['yellow', 'light'];
\DB::table('things')->update(['tags' => $tags])->where('id', 1);

gets you the above error:

in helpers.php line 686
at HandleExceptions->handleError('2', 'preg_replace(): Parameter mismatch, pattern is a string while replacement is an array', '/home/spare/projects/ebc-website/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/helpers.php', '686', array('search' => '\?', 'replace' => array(array('yellow', 'light')), 'subject' => 'update things set tags = ?', 'value' => array('yellow', 'light')))
at preg_replace('/\?/', array('yellow', 'light'), 'update things set tags = ?', '1') in helpers.php line 686
at str_replace_array('\?', array(array('yellow', 'light')), 'update things set tags = ?') in QueryException.php line 56
at QueryException->formatMessage('update things set tags = ?', array(array('yellow', 'light')), object(ErrorException)) in QueryException.php line 39
at QueryException->__construct('update things set tags = ?', array(array('yellow', 'light')), object(ErrorException)) in Connection.php line 653

Inserting 'array' data types works fine ...

Hi,

there was really an issue with updating array types. Can you test your code with just updated master branch? I added tests for this kind of updates and they are passing now, but would like to see if you're ok with it also.

Thx

Hey Ratko thats' tops !! yes it is working for me too, thank you! I was fooled by Laravel trying to mull out it's own QueryException that was throwing 'preg_replace(): Parameter mismatch' error. huh! thus obfuscating the crate's response ...

Thanks again!
