DB query builder toArray() laravel 4

Question

I\'m trying to convert a query to an array with the method toArray() but it doesn\'t work for the query builder. Any ideas for convert it?

Example

Answer 1

And another solution

$objectData = DB::table('user')
    ->select('column1', 'column2')
    ->where('name', '=', 'Jhon')
    ->get();
$arrayData = array_map(function($item) {
    return (array)$item; 
}, $objectData->toArray());

It good in case when you need only several columns from entity.
