Answer 1

Try this solution:

From Matt Burrow comment
Add a \ before DB like so; \DB or add use \DB; at the top.

So it should be like :

class LearnController extends Controller {

public function home()
{

$users = \DB::table('ads_new')->get();

    foreach ($users as $user)
    {
    var_dump($user->title);
    }

}

}

Answer 2

The DB façade is in the global namespace, so you need to import it at the top of your controller:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use DB;

Have a read up on namespaces in PHP: http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.php
