explode() returns an array of strings, so you can access elements by using keys:

$profile = $user->userdetail()->create([
              'user_id' => $request->input('id'),
              'first_name' => $name[0],
              'last_name' => $name[1]
          ]);

You can use the following code

$full_name = "John Doe";
$name = explode(' ',$full_name);
$first_name = $name[0];
$last_name = $name[1];

Alternate way :

<?php

   $ip = "fname lname"; 
   $iparr = preg_split("/[\s,]+/",$ip); 
   echo "$iparr[0]";
   echo "$iparr[1]";

?>

But explode is good(faster) than preg_split. ;)
