laravel multidimensional array

Question

I have a notifications table in database and also have a users table.In notifications table I have user_id,notific_user_id,post_id.I can print_r $user variable which is in Controller but can to access the $user->first_name.

This is the Controller:

public function test()
{
    $result=Notifications::where('user_id',Auth::user()->id)->get();
    echo '<pre>';


    foreach ($result as $result){
        $user=User::where('id',$result->notific_user_id)->first()->get();
        print_r($user);
    }
}

And this is some of the output

 Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection Object
 (
[items:protected] => Array
    (
        [0] => App\User Object
            (

                [relations:protected] => Array
                    (
                    )

Now how can I access the first_name, last_name etc? I tried print_r($user->first_name); but it did not work. Please help me.

Answer 1

You get a collection (list of objects), since you use the ->get() method for your Eloquent query builder

simply remove the ->get() and you will get the first object matching the query

Your code should look like this:

$user=User::where('id',$result->notific_user_id)->first();
