(PHP) Add column to table in Laravel

Create migration in console:

[php]
php artisan make:migration add_mycolumn_to_mytable
[/php]

Use Schema::table() to access existing table (instead of Schema::create() for creating new tables)

[php]
public function up()
{
    Schema::table('mytable', function($table) {
        $table->text('mycolumn');
    });
}
public function down()
{
    Schema::table('mytable', function($table) {
        $table->dropColumn('mycolumn');
    });
}
[/php]

Then run migrations:

[php]
php artisan migrate

[/php]
