How to get specific Array value from an Array in Laravel - php

Question

I'd like to get a specific array data from an array I've get from this code :
$user = $request->instance()->query('user');
var_dump($user);exit;
And the result is :
array(1) { ["user"]=> object(App\Models\User)#332 (27) {
["fillable":protected]=> array(5) { [0]=> string(4) "name" [1]=>
string(8) "username" [2]=> string(5) "email" [3]=> string(8)
"password" [4]=> string(5) "token" } ["hidden":protected]=> array(2) {
[0]=> string(8) "password" [1]=> string(14) "remember_token" }
["casts":protected]=> array(1) { ["email_verified_at"]=> string(8)
"datetime" } ["connection":protected]=> string(5) "mysql"
["table":protected]=> string(5) "users" ["primaryKey":protected]=>
string(2) "id" ["keyType":protected]=> string(3) "int"
["incrementing"]=> bool(true) ["with":protected]=> array(0) { }
["withCount":protected]=> array(0) { } ["perPage":protected]=> int(15)
["exists"]=> bool(true) ["wasRecentlyCreated"]=> bool(false)
["attributes":protected]=> array(15) { ["id"]=> int(3) ["name"]=>

string(37) "https://web.facebook.com/xkionna" ["phone"]=> NULL
["email_verified_at"]=> NULL ["password"]=> string(60)
"$2y$10$IrqHE1JfyH0bJ0XD/Hjy.efLg95y/buTIir0PuXcOqDb1yCSS69Oe"
["image"]=> NULL ["description"]=> NULL ["role"]=> string(1) "1"
["token"]=> string(20) "ymsJxEtFnxdPBWYwlYFw" ["member_expiration"]=>
string(19) "2019-07-08 20:33:29" ["created_at"]=> string(19)
"2019-06-08 20:30:25" ["updated_at"]=> string(19) "2019-06-08
20:33:29" } ["original":protected]=> array(15) { ["id"]=> int(3)
["name"]=> string(14) "Manchesteriyah" ["username"]=> string(14)
"manchesteriyah" ["email"]=> string(24) "manchesteriyah#gmail.com"

"2019-06-08 20:30:25" ["updated_at"]=> string(19) "2019-06-08
20:33:29" } ["changes":protected]=> array(0) { } ["dates":protected]=>
array(0) { } ["dateFormat":protected]=> NULL ["appends":protected]=>
array(0) { } ["dispatchesEvents":protected]=> array(0) { }
["observables":protected]=> array(0) { } ["relations":protected]=>
array(0) { } ["touches":protected]=> array(0) { } ["timestamps"]=>
bool(true) ["visible":protected]=> array(0) { }
["guarded":protected]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(1) "*" }
["rememberTokenName":protected]=> string(14) "remember_token" } }
What I'd like to get is the username value, I've tried some solution like this :
$user->username
but it give me error like this :
Trying to get property 'username' of non-object
How to fix this? Thanks for attention.

The $user variable seems to be holding an array containing 1 element, not the User itself. You must first retrieve the User object from the array and then access the username attribute.
$user = $request->instance()->query('user')['user'];
var_dump($user->username); exit;
