laravel Illegal offset type

Question

this is my code in the controller

  $order = Order::with(['media','contact'])
        ->get();

and this is my code in the view and it work fine

 <label> {{__($order['details'])}} </label>

but if I change the attribute to timestamp attribute like 'created_at' , 'updated_at' I got this error

Illegal offset type

note that: the code in the view is inside foreach

We need to see more code here. This line doesn't seems to throw the error you got — Felippe Duarte
Why are you using array access, to access a model object? Can you provide your for loop please? — Kurt Friars
Note: In your current code, $order is a Collection; ->get() returns multiple Order objects. If you're not already, you need to loop them, like @foreach($orders as $order), and prefer to use object syntax: $order->details instead of array syntax $order['details'] (although both are allowed, objects is preferred) — Tim Lewis

The issue is that you are putting the output into the translation function, and the output of those timestamps is a carbon instance.

But no issue here.

>>> $u['created_at']
