Or use bindings in raw queries:

   $users = DB::select("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ?", [$email]);

           "next": "http://example.com/api/posts?page=2",
           "previous": null

• Flexibility: Site settings are adjustable without changing code.
• Localization: Dynamically adapts the app’s language based on admin-defined settings.

By combining Laravel’s config and localization systems with database-driven settings, you’ve built a dynamic and customizable foundation for your application. This approach is ideal for managing global settings and adapting your app’s behavior to user or admin preferences.

We will implement these as shared properties and methods in a Base Controller.

If you don’t already have a BaseController, create one manually or via command:
