Answer 1

you are missing a get() at the in of your query

$categories = DB::table('categories')
        ->leftJoin('categories_description','categories_description.categories_id', '=', 'categories.categories_id')
        ->select('categories.categories_id as id', 'categories.categories_image as image',  'categories.categories_icon as icon',  'categories.date_added as date_added', 'categories.last_modified as last_modified', 'categories_description.categories_name as name', 'categories_description.language_id')
        ->where('parent_id', '0')->where('categories_description.language_id', '1')->get();
