无法将类型为stdClass的对象用作数组laravel

Question

I know is simple but i don't know at this moment

In my controller i use

$result = DB::select("SELECT name FROM account_name WHERE name='".$name."'"); 

I can't get the data out from that array

dd($result) show me:

array:1 [
  0 => {#232
    +"name": "John"
  }
]

How to get that John out????

I have tried $result[0]["name"] but no success and give me that error

Answer 1

$result = DB::table('account_name')->select('name')->where('name', $name)->first();

Then:

$result->name; // John

Or you can do:

$result = DB::table('account_name')->where('name', $name)->value('name');

Then:

$result; // John

Answer 2

You can cast object to array like that (array) $object .
You can also check if it's an object : if(is_object($variable)) $variable = (array) $variable
