          ["dates":protected]=>
          array(0) {
          }
          ["touches":protected]=>
          array(0) {
          }
          ["observables":protected]=>
          array(0) {
          }
          ["with":protected]=>
          array(0) {
          }
          ["morphClass":protected]=>
          NULL
          ["exists"]=>
          bool(true)
        }
      }
    }

It clearly shows that It has two values that is [0] and [1] but when I var_dump(array[0])

it says offset error :0

any leads on this one would be appreciated.

Thanks

have you tried to var_dump(your-variable-name[0]); it should work — Anshul Mishra

You can use dd($array->toArray()); to print as Array. Which convert collection in array. Same you can use dd($array->toJson()); to print in Json format.

Hope this help.

Actually you don't have an array, you have a Colleciton object, you can get items using all (http://laravel.com/api/4.2/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Collection.html#method_all) method and then you can dump the returned array.

Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection extends Illuminate\Support\Collection which implements ArrayAccess. That means Collection objects can be used like arrays.

Please try the following,

var_dump(json_decode($array,true)[0]);

json_decode($array,true) --> this statement will convert the collection object into an array. Once this is done, you can access the array using the array index

Thank you :)
