//didn't work
foreach ($agents as $agent=>$value) 
{
    echo "{$agent}=>{$value}"."<br>";

Solution 1

$agents = User::where('is_admin','=', 'false')->pluck('value', 'agent'); 

foreach ($agents as $agent=>$value) {
echo "{$agent}=>{$value}"."<br>";
}

Using pluck you will convert the object to a array, so you can use the foreach the way you want with the key => value.

If you need to access other attributes of the model, you will need to do something like this:

$agents = User::where('is_admin','=', 'false')->get(); 

foreach ($agents as $agent) {
echo "{$agent->id}=>{$agent->name}"."<br>";
}

This way you just need to use $agent and -> followed by the attribute you want.

Solution 2

Your controller should be like:

public function index() {

    $agents = User::where('is_admin','=', 'false')->get();
    return view('viewfile', compact('agents'));
}

And then in that view file make the foreach loop in blade view

@foreach ($agents as $agent)
     {{ $agent->name }}
@endforeach
