To join tables and return multiple values in Laravel, you can use the Query Builder or Eloquent ORM provided by Laravel.


Here is an example of joining two tables in Laravel using Eloquent:

1
2
3
4
5
6
$data = DB::table('users')
            ->join('posts', 'users.id', '=', 'posts.user_id')
            ->select('users.name', 'posts.title', 'posts.content')
            ->get();

return $data;


In this example, we are joining the users table with the posts table on the user_id column and selecting the name from the users table and title and content from the posts table.


Alternatively, you can also achieve the same result using Eloquent relationships:


Define the relationship in your User and Post models:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
// User model
public function posts() {
    return $this->hasMany(Post::class);
}

// Post model
public function user() {
    return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}


Then, you can retrieve the data like this:

1
2
3
$data = User::with('posts')->get();

return $data;


This will return all users along with their posts.
