Laravel 5.2 Eloquent column name conflict - php

Question

I have the following method in my user class:
/**
* Get all organisations for user (if owner)
*
* #param
*/
public function getOrganisationsOwned()
{
// If the user is owner of any one or many organisations then return this list
return Organisation::leftJoin('subscription_plans', 'organisations.subscription_plan_id', '=', 'subscription_plans.id')
->where('organisations.owner_id', '=', $this->id)
->select('organisations.*', 'subscription_plans.*')
->get();
}
The method essentially queries and joins two tables. Each table has a column called title.
The output from the above generates the rows as desired with the right info, but returns only one title column, from the right table (subscription_plans) but not the column title from the left table (organisations). I also notice it is dropping the timestamps from one table also, as these are of the same column name.
I understood that
->select('organisations.*', 'subscription_plans.*')
would make the query return both columns. What am I missing? Happy new year!
PS: below is a copy of the dd() contents for the collection, with title only appearing once.
#attributes: array:44 [▼

The "missing" title column contains:
'title' => 'ABC Electrical'

Answer 1

There is some misunderstanding as to what I suggested: instead of using *, you could list the field names one by one and provide aliases for the 2 title fields. This does not mean that you should keep the 'organisations.*', 'subscription_plans.*' and add the 2 title fields to the select list with aliases because this way you select both title fields twice, wasting memory and processor time.
You should not include the * forms in the select list, but list each field individually, with the 2 title fields marked with aliases:
public function getOrganisationsOwned()
{
// If the user is owner of any one or many organisations then return this list
return Organisation::leftJoin('subscription_plans', 'organisations.subscription_plan_id', '=', 'subscription_plans.id')
->where('organisations.owner_id', '=', $this->id)
->select('organisations.id', 'organisations.title AS org_title', ..., 'subscription_plans.subscription_plan_id', 'subscription_plans.title AS plan_title', ...)
->get();
}
Yeah, I know, listing so many field one by one is a pain in the ***, however, each field is retrieved once and only once, at it is clear that you are fetching what is needed.

Answer 2

#Shadow's suggestion worked, although you should note, this method allows you to select all the fields, but only "rename" columns or rather alias them so you can still access the proper value when using joins. The old value will still be overridden, but now you can use your alias with the correct value.
The below is now working:
public function getOrganisationsOwned()
{
// If the user is owner of any one or many organisations then return this list
return Organisation::leftJoin('subscription_plans', 'organisations.subscription_plan_id', '=', 'subscription_plans.id')
->where('organisations.owner_id', '=', $this->id)
->select('organisations.*', 'organisations.title AS org_title', 'subscription_plans.*', 'subscription_plans.title AS plan_title')
->get();
}
