Laravel 4 DB::table - Foreach - php

Question

I'm trying to run a sql query and return all values into an array of the tables names...
This is what I have so far:
$vehiclemodeldata = DB::table('model')->where('model_id', $viewData['model_id'])->get();
$row = $vehiclemodeldata->row();
foreach ($row as $key => $value){
$viewData['vehiclemodeldata_'.$key]= $value;
}
What are your throughts?
EDIT
I've tried this it seems to bring it back in an array but I can't access the array for some reason.
$VehicleModel = DB::table('model')->where('model_id', $viewData['model_id'])->get();
Thanks

Answer 1

This is because $vehiclemodeldata = DB::table('model')->where('model_id', $viewData['model_id'])->get(); actually returns an object instead of an array.
Your foreach loop is correct. You can later access properties in the array by using syntax like this $viewData['vehiclemodeldata_1']->yourProperty; which is used to access properties of objects.
Hope it answers the question.

Answer 2

$vehiclemodeldata = DB::table('model')->where('model_id', $viewData['model_id'])->first();
$viewData['vehiclemodeldata'] = $vehicle->toArray();
But why would you like to do this?
I would pass query result directly to view instead
$vehicle = DB::table('model')->where('model_id', $id)->first();
return View::make('whateverview', compact('vehicle'));
// view file
Model: {{ $vehicle->model }}
