This easy to do with ORM, if you have Tag model please try,

$n = Tag::orderBy('id','desc')->first()->id;

$n = DB::select('select top 1 id form tags order by id DESC')->first();

$id = $n->id;

your id now is $id

DB::select() returns an array btw

laravel returns: Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError Call to a member function first() on array
