ambiguous in property names of object due to inner join in laravel - sql

Question

I using following code for joining two tables in my controller
$clientdata = DB::table('clients')
->join('users', 'clients.id', '=', 'users.id')->get();
In blade:
#foreach($clientdata as $clientdata)
<td>{{$clientdata->first_name(client)}}</td>
<td>{{$clientdata->last_name(client)}}</td>
<td>{{$clientdata->first_name(users)}}</td>
<td>{{$clientdata->last_name(users)}}</td>
#endforeach
but my both tables clients and users contains column of same name as first_name and last_name, and i want to access first_name and last_name of both clients table and users table, so how can i do that

Answer 1

You can do
$clientdata = DB::table('clients')
->join('users', 'clients.id', '=', 'users.id')
->select(
'users.first_name as users_first_name',
'users.last_name as users_last_name',
'clients.first_name as clients_first_name',
'clients.last_name as clients_last_name',
)
->get();
In your blade file:
#foreach($clientdata as $data)
<td>{{$data->users_first_name}}</td>
<td>{{$data->users_last_name}}</td>
<td>{{$data->clients_first_name}}</td>
<td>{{$data->clients_last_name}}</td>
#endforeach

I use always this solution
Lazy one :) (In case of high number of columns)
I select all columns in both tables (table.*), and I add my ambiguous columns with aliases (table.ambiguous_1 AS alias)
Example
$clientdata = DB::table('clients')
->join('users', 'clients.id', '=', 'users.id')
->select(
'users.*',
'clients.*',
'users.first_name AS users_first_name',
'users.last_name AS users_last_name',
'clients.first_name AS clients_first_name',
'clients.last_name AS clients_last_name',
)
->get();
In the blade I use the alias for ambiguous columns and orginal column name in others.

Try this code
DB::table('clients') ->join('users', 'clients.id', '=', 'users.id')->select('clients*', DB::raw('clients as client_name'))->get();
