Laravel 4 One To Many relationship Error -

i laravel newbie , trying follow documentation.so have 2 models, 'user' model , 'userphone' model. user has many phones.

user model:

public function userphone() {         return $this->hasmany('userphone'); }

userphone model:

public function user(){     return $this->belongsto('user'); }

on controller trying "copy" documentation:

$userphone = user::find(1)->userphone;

well result error:

trying property of non-object

i know missing here , cannot find it.

i'm pretty sure don't have user id of 1.

$userphone = user::find(1)->userphone;

this should work, but, if doesn't find user first part:

user::find(1)

i return null , null not object, error: trying property of non-object.

my advice is, try this

var_dump( user::find(1) );

and if receive null, found problem.
