Returning array of objects in Laravel

Question

I need to be able to change objects on server, save those, and return results back to frontend part of application. So basically, I have some code that does manipulation of data, than Eloquent that does saving, and than I want to return Eloquent object back. Problem is that I have more than one object, that I'll manipulate, and right now, I'm putting all of them in array. When it comes back to my frontend all it has is this:

[{"incrementing":true,"timestamps":true,"exists":true}]

Here is the simplified code:

$results = array();
foreach ($tasks as $task){
 //some manipulation
 $result = Task::find($task['id']);
 $result->order = $task['order'];
 $result->save();
 $results[] = $result;
}
return Response::json($results);

Ok, the solution was to call toArray() method before putting element to array.

$results[] = $result->toArray();

I had a similar situation, now it works. Still, the solution is kind of dirty and not laravel-conform. I thought it should be better to solve it with a Eloquent Collection, but didn't work well too. Probably this is something they should fix.
