Question

I have a notifications table in database and also have a users table.In notifications table I have user_id,notific_user_id,post_id.I can print_r $user variable which is in Controller but can to access the $user->first_name.
This is the Controller:
public function test()
{
$result=Notifications::where('user_id',Auth::user()->id)->get();
echo '<pre>';
foreach ($result as $result){
$user=User::where('id',$result->notific_user_id)->first()->get();
print_r($user);
}
}
And this is some of the output
Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection Object
(
[items:protected] => Array
(
[0] => App\User Object
(
[connection:protected] =>
[table:protected] =>
[primaryKey:protected] => id
[perPage:protected] => 15
[incrementing] => 1
[timestamps] => 1
[attributes:protected] => Array
(
[id] => 100000000
[created_at] => 2016-04-28 19:25:01
[updated_at] => 2016-05-10 05:03:22
[user_name] => 1

)
[relations:protected] => Array

)
Now how can I access the first_name, last_name etc?
I tried print_r($user->first_name); but it did not work. Please help me.

You get a collection (list of objects), since you use the ->get() method for your Eloquent query builder
simply remove the ->get() and you will get the first object matching the query
Your code should look like this:
$user=User::where('id',$result->notific_user_id)->first();
