                    [id] => 1
                    [property_type_id] => 1

        )

I tried the following code but its not working

@foreach ($prop as $pc1)
                
<?php 
echo explode("', '",'"'.$pc1['image_names'].'"');
?>
@endforeach 

Answer

• There’s no space in the seperator
• No need to quote the search string
• Since explode(), returns an array you’ll need the first entry to get the image string [0]

Please take a close look at explode docs

@foreach ($prop as $pc1)
                
<?php 
echo explode(',', $pc1['image_names'])[0];
?>
@endforeach
