It's also possible to attach data for fields in the intermediate table (pivot table), to do this add a second array variable to the attach command containing the data you want to attach:
Alternatively, you can use the `sync` method, which accepts an array of IDs to "sync" with the intermediate table. After this operation is complete, only the IDs in the array will be on the intermediate table.

## Server Configuration: Why Public?
## Server Configuration
Like most web-development frameworks, Laravel is designed to protect your application code, bundles, and local storage by placing only files that are necessarily public in the web server's DocumentRoot. This prevents some types of server misconfiguration from making your code (including database passwords and other configuration data) accessible through the web server. It's best to be safe.

Pointing the DocumentRoot to the public folder is a commonly used best-practice. However, you may need to use Laravel on a host that does not allow you to update your DocumentRoot. This is possible, but before resigning to this option it's best to contact your host and verify that you are unable to change your DocumentRoot to increase the security of your application.
While pointing the DocumentRoot to the public folder is a commonly used best-practice, it's possible that you may need to use Laravel on a host that does not allow you to update your DocumentRoot. A collection of algorithms to circumvent this need can be found [on the Laravel forums.](http://forums.laravel.com/viewtopic.php?id=1258)
