The problem is you are printing array as as string.

returning result of \Db::select is an array so to print array you can use print_r()

$results = \Db::select('select * from engegraph_forms_membros where id = ?', [1]);
echo '<pre/>'; print_r($result); exit();

you can print result like this or you can use build in debugger function.

$results = \Db::select('select * from engegraph_forms_membros where id = ?', [1]);
dd($result);
// or dump($result);

if you use dump/dd function you dont need to worry it can print anything. dd [die and dump] stops php flow to next statements. dump will continues flow so you can print another values/or/execute next statements if you need.

if any doubts please add comments.

I want send the result to update my partial but i dont have sucess yet — Erik, Oct 15 '19 at 11:27
