stdClass array error with model in laravel

Question

Part of my command in laravel is failing due to a fatal error:

cannot use object of type stdClass as array

I know it has to do with the following code block, because it truncates the table but it fails on inserting new records for each row/result. Skus is a model with all the fields set as fillable.

Why would it be failing here with that error?

if ($results) {

        Skus::truncate();

        foreach ($results as $row) {
            $sku = new Skus;
            $sku->category = $row['category'];
            $sku->build = $row['build'];
            $sku->fabric = $row['fabric'];
            $sku->color = $row['color'];
            $sku->location = $row['location'];
            $sku->type = $row['type'];
            $sku->price = $row['price'];
            $sku->save();
        }

    }

var_dump $row before $row['category'] and you will probably have a better idea of what's happening. :) — Rafael

Change every

$something->property = $row['somevalue']

to

$something->property = $row->somevalue

The reason is that the $row is a "class" that has some properties (variable) and when you want to access a class property you have to use "->".

I imagine that your $results variable is part of a json response or something like that. Try decoding sending second parameter as true in order to get an array instead of an object.

$results = json_decode($results, true);

If that is not the case, please provide further info about where those results come from.

But if your error says that your array is an object, then you can access the property using the -> operator:

$sku->category = $row->category;
