Laravel Eloquent ORM: Accessing a specific cell of table

Question

I am trying to access a specific cell of a table. I have to run the following query in Laravel Eloquent ORM:

SELECT email FROM users WHERE id=$id;

Here is what I have done so far:

$user=new users;//users is model
$user=users::where('email',$email)
   ->where('password',$pass)
   ->get();
$mail=$user->email;

And I encounter this error:

ErrorException in HomeController.php line 52: Undefined property: Illuminate\\Database\\Eloquent\\Collection::$email

Any help?

Figured I'd put this up as answer for anyone else that comes looking -

->get() returns a collection, ->first() returns a model.

Either replace ->get() with ->first() , or do $user->first()->email .
