laravel postgresql trying to access array offset on value of type int

1# I found this issue only occured with POSTGRESQL Database
2# I was using sqlite and there was no issue but the production
3# server running postgresql had the issue because it treated
4# database columns of int type as int and not string as sqlite does
5# you can dd your data and you should see that it appears as string
6
7# To solve it I wrapped the value I was retrieving around the php
8# (string) helper to change it to string
9
10#suppose you want to get the second value of the data 8900
11# thus 9 in this case
12# this fails
13$name = User::first()->aniversary[1];
14
15# try this instead
16$name = ((string)User::first()->aniversary)[1];
