Laravel make array of another array objects

Question

I have general data array and I need to get array of specific data inside this general array so I can match it against my database.

Code

$nums = [];
foreach($request->phones as $phone) {
    foreach($phone['_objectInstance']['phoneNumbers'] as $number) {
        $nums = $number['value'];
    }
}

$contacts = User::whereIn('phone', $nums)->get();

PS: $number['value'] is the data that I want to make array of it.

Sample data that I receive in backend

current error

Argument 1 passed to Illuminate\\Database\\Query\\Builder::cleanBindings() must be of the type array, string given, called in /home/....../vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Query/Builder.php on line 918

exception: "TypeError"

Question

How can I make array of my numbers?

Ps: please if you know cleaner way to write this code, than my code above don't hesitate to share with me.

You're assigning $nums to be a new string on every iteration of the loop, rather than appending it to the array.

Just switch this line out:

$nums = $number['value'];

For

$nums[] = $number['value'];

Here are the docs for array_push(), which is the long way of writing the second line.

that fixed the error thanks but why i cant get array of my users list? $contacts I mean i should get 2 result i just get 1

You can stick a ->toArray() after your ->get() to convert it to an array. If it's only including one contact, you should check that $nums is correct, and that it correctly matches your contacts.

no have any rest, simply make array of numbers and find users who has any of those numbers

But $contacts isn't being returned or sent to the browser, so how are you looking at it in the inspector?

You are declaring $nums array, but inside the loop, you re-declaring it by a string again. Fix the array assignments like that.

$nums[] = $number['value'];
