title: Laravel 5.1 DB:select toArray()
body: <p>I have a large SQL statement that I am executing like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$result = DB::select($sql);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For example</p>
  
  <pre><code>$result = DB::select('select * from users');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like the result to be an array - but at the moment it returns a structure like so, an array with Objects...</p>
  
  <pre><code>Array
  (
      0 =&gt; stdClass::__set_state(array(
          'id' =&gt; 1,
          'first_name' =&gt; 'Pavel',
          'created_at' =&gt; '2015-02-23 05:46:33',
      )),
      1 =&gt; stdClass::__set_state(array(
          'id' =&gt; 2,
          'first_name' =&gt; 'Eugene',
          'created_at' =&gt; '2016-02-23 05:46:34',
      )),
  ...etc...
  </code></pre>
