在laravel 4中删除多对多模型的reationship

Question

I tried the following:

$one = OneModel::findOrFail($id);
$two = $one->two_model()->findOrFail($two_id);
$two->delete();

But that deletes the record from the database, how can I just remove the relationship without deleting from the table? And also not having to mess with the pivot table, because if that is needed, why am I even using a framework...

Answer 1

If I got you correctly, detach() is what you're looking for:

$one = OneModel::findOrFail($id);
$one->two_model()->detach($two_id);

This will delete only the relation with one_model's table's $id and two_model's table's $two_id in your pivot table.
