I want to get the values of some fields form the #attributes field (like "title" and "location") so I can fill a calendar.

dd($events); Outputs:

  ]

  #escapeWhenCastingToString: false

}

I think I can get the values using the collect function form Laravel. (read this on this very similar question)

But when I try do do: $event_items = collect($events->items);

It gives the error: Property [items] does not exist on this collection instance.

What am I doing wrong here?

My Answer:
multidimensional array in Laravel. You can achieve this by using the array_pluck() function provided by Laravel.

Here's an example of how you can get particular values from a multidimensional array in Laravel:

php
$data = [
['id' => 1, 'name' => 'John', 'age' => 25],
['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Jane', 'age' => 30],
['id' => 3, 'name' => 'Alice', 'age' => 28],
];

$names = array_pluck($data, 'name');
$ages = array_pluck($data, 'age');

dd($names, $ages);


In this example, we have a multidimensional array `$data` containing information about different people. We use the `array_pluck()` function to extract the values of the 'name' and 'age' fields from the array. The resulting `$names` and `$ages` arrays will contain the values of the 'name' and 'age' fields respectively.

You can then use these extracted values as needed in your Laravel application.
