RESOLVED: I WAS ADDING EXTRA INDEX TO $firms LIKE $firms['type'] = 'ABC' AS $firms Already Contains CHILD ARRAYS. My BAD, Sorry.

This might be duplicate But i couldn't figure it out T _ T Sorry

As i am printing array results coming right from database, its continuously annoying me with error

Illegal string offset 'id'

When i simply print_r result array it gives me following result.

echo "<pre>";
   foreach ($firms as $firm) {
       print_r($firm[0]);
   }
echo "</pre>";

Result:

Array
(
    [id] => 7923
    [rank] => 0
    [name] => CBRE
)
Array
(
    [id] => 7919
    [rank] => 0
    [name] => Aecom
)

But if i try to print 'id' it gives me error:

echo "<pre>";
    foreach ($firms as $firm) {
        echo $firm[0]['id'];
    }
echo "</pre>";

Error:

Illegal string offset 'id'

VAR_DUMP($firms) , Result:

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    array(3) {
      ["id"]=>
      int(7923)
       ["rank"]=>
      int(0)
       ["name"]=>
       string(4) "CBRE"
   }
 }
 [1]=>
 array(1) {
   [0]=>
    array(3) {
      ["id"]=>
       int(7919)
       ["rank"]=>
       int(0)
       ["name"]=>
       string(5) "Aecom"
     }
  }
  [2]=>
   array(1) {
    [0]=>
     array(3) {
      ["id"]=>
      int(6793)
      ["rank"]=>
      int(1)
      ["name"]=>
      string(5) "AECOM"
   }
  }
}

Actually it didn't worked also, because i am getting results as array `$firms[] = Firm::whereId($favourite['firm_id'])->get()->toArray();` It Gives Error `Trying to get property of non-object ` – Noman Ali Oct 14 '16 at 11:37

`echo $firm['id'];` ? – S.I. Oct 14 '16 at 11:39
it won't work too, reason is-> When is `print_r($firms)` it display something like [This](http://imgur.com/a/YJ8Jk) – Noman Ali Oct 14 '16 at 11:44
can you try removing the quotes of ['id'] so like this: $firm[0][id]; – kerv Oct 14 '16 at 11:46
`Use of undefined constant id - assumed 'id'` This is so annoying. i am working on PHP since 2012. but this is so out of box. – Noman Ali Oct 14 '16 at 11:48
Well you said you tried `echo $firm[0]['id'];` but what about `echo $firm['0']['id'];` with quotes around `0` – S.I. Oct 14 '16 at 11:54
it remains same, no difference :( Well Thanks – Noman Ali Oct 14 '16 at 12:00

I don't think `$firm[0]` is actually an array. Please do a `var_dump($firms)` and add it to your question. – Jeff Oct 14 '16 at 12:02

Is it multidimensional array ?? – Oct 14 '16 at 12:06
IT must be like this Array ( [1] => Array ( [id] => 7923 [rank] => 0 [name] => Aecom ) [2] => Array ( [id] => 7919 [rank] => 0 [name] => CBRE ) ) – Oct 14 '16 at 12:06

I bet `$firm[0]` is a string. If you'd do `$firm[0][0]` you'll get "A". – Jeff Oct 14 '16 at 12:09
Added `var_dump($firms)` to the question. Thanks @Jeff – Noman Ali Oct 14 '16 at 12:47
yes it is @NavjotSingh – Noman Ali Oct 14 '16 at 12:47
First used for loop like this and print the firm foreach ($firms as $firm) { print_r($firm); } – Oct 17 '16 at 09:54
