Laravel Eloquent Select CASE?
Move your raw() call inside the SELECT statement: ->select(‘shares.id AS share_id’, ‘users.id AS user_id’, ‘shares.connected_user_id’, ‘shares.original_language_id’, ‘shares.image’, ‘users.first_name’, ‘users.last_name’, ‘users.email’, ‘locations.city’, ‘provinces.name’, ‘countries.code’, ‘locations.lat’, ‘locations.lng’, ‘shares.created_at’, DB::raw(‘(CASE WHEN users.id = ‘ . $user . ‘ THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS is_user’) ) ->orderBy(‘shares.created_at’, ‘desc’) From: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/queries#raw-expressions
