why this happen, how to solve this issue

CodePudding user response：

Assuming that you are refering to what happens when the result is converted into JSON then the where (or any filter) retains the keys by default which when converted to a JSON string results in an object since arrays in JSON must be 0 based and not have any gaps within their keys.

You can reset the key numbering like so:

$details['series'] = $Details->where('id','!=',$id)->values();

This is like calling array_values on an array to achieve the same thing.

Use a first() on your collection :

$details['series'] = $Details->where('id','!=',$id)->first();
