Laravel Get Collection From Array of IDs

Question

I have an array of User IDs that I'm trying to get a collection of. I have been using the following foreach loop, but I realize that for each loop it makes, it overrides the previous data.

$users = DB::table('user_tags')->where('tag_name', $tag)->whereNotNull('user_id')->lists('user_id');
$users = array_unique($users);

foreach ($users as $key => $value)
{
    $users = User::where('id', $value)->get();  
}

How can this return a collection with all users in that original array?

Thanks!

Answer 1

There's an easier way..

$ids = DB::table('user_tags')->where('tag_name', $tag)->whereNotNull('user_id')->lists('user_id');
$users = User::whereIn('id', $ids)->get();
