#for Laravel 5+:

​

php artisan make:migration add_paid_to_users_table --table=users

#for Laravel 3:

​

php artisan migrate:make add_paid_to_users

#You then need to use the Schema::table() method (as you're accessing an existing table, not creating a new one). And you can add a column like this:

​

public function up()

{

    Schema::table('users', function($table) {

        $table->integer('paid');

    });

}

#and don't forget to add the rollback option:

​

public function down()

{

    Schema::table('users', function($table) {

        $table->dropColumn('paid');

    });

}

#Then you can run your migrations:

​

php artisan migrate
