[TriLUG] Fighting a Laravel error. Help?

[Bill Farrow via TriLUG]

Brian, I hope you don't mind but I asked ChatGPT your question and the
response is below. I would be really interested if this helps you.


The error message you're seeing is likely being caused by this line:

'tms' => $personID->id

It seems that you are trying to access the id property of an object that is
not set or is null. This line of code should likely be changed to:

'tms' => $personData->id

As you are trying to access the id property of the $personData object which
is the current iteration in the foreach loop.

Also, it's important to note that the toArray() function returns an array
of arrays and not an array of objects, so you'll need to access the
properties of the current iteration using array notation.

foreach ($peopleData as $personData) {
    echo "\nPersonType: " . var_export($personData['person_type_id'], true)
. "\nPerson: " . var_export($personData, true) . "\n\n";
    if ($personData['person_type_id'] == $emsStudentType) {
        $peopleStudents[] = [
            'ems' => $personData['id'],
            'first' => $personData['first_name'],
            'last' => $personData['last_name'],
            'archived_at' => $personData['archived_at'],
            'tms' => $personData['id']
        ];
    }
}
It is also important to check if the $emsStudentType variable is an integer
before comparing it to $personData['person_type_id']
