how to skip one element from collection

it's not working :( @veve286

just try i hope it will work :P

$games = $user->getProjects()->sortByDesc('created_at');
$game = $games->slice(1,count($games));

if you get error somehow find number of collection and use slice you can simply play with Laravel :)

shift() removes the first item from a collection https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/collections#method-shift

$games = $user->getProjects()->sortByDesc('created_at')->shift();

nop shift also din work .. is there any chance that the collection is not defined properly .. coz i am getting this with eloquent and i dont need the first item .. i need rest of the items ..

shift() removes the first item and returns it, so what you have done it assign games to the first item in the collection; whereas the collection contains all of the other elements:

$games = $user->getProjects()->sortByDesc('created_at'); // all of the games
$games->shift();  // removes the first game and returns it
$games->all(); // remaining games

You could also use slice() (per @Hamelraj) or splice() if you wanted to inline it:

$games = $user->getProjects()->sortByDesc('created_at')->splice(1);

I think you could use take() and skip() too? Eg,

$games = User::projects()->skip(1)->take(1000)->get();
