convert a Windows VHD to a physical hard drive

Question

I have links saved in one of my DB tables and am performing a simple DB Select Where query with l5 using:

$meddURL = Media::select('url')->where('id', '=', $mediaID)->get();

which is working but for some reason it's messing with my link when I print it to any textbox/textarea in a view.

In the DB the link is stored as: http://examplelink.com/image1.png

But when printed in the view: [{"url":"http://examplelink.com/image1.png"}]

I'm not quite sure why it's turning my link into this weird format.

Solution

I work on a windows deployment tool called, SmartDeploy Enterprise. It allows you to deploy VHDs to physical hardware, which it sounds like you would like to do. We offer a 15 day trial too, so you can test out your situation above.

Acronis True Home Image Plus supports the ability to convert it to a format that Acronis can restore to a physical hdd.

[{"url":"examplelink.com/image1.png"}] this is JSON Format.
