"Undefined variable: data" when using Mail::queue()

posted 10 years ago

I'm getting a "Undefined variable: data" error whenever this function runs. The $data variable is definitely defined in the method calling this function so I'm not entirely sure why I'm getting this error. Any ideas?

public function email($data)
{
	Mail::queue(array('text' => 'emails.plaintext'), $data, function($message)
	{
		$message->from('my@email.co.za', 'My Name');
		
		$message->to($data['email'])->subject('Email Subject');
	});
}

I've tried adding $data to the function set as the 3rd parameter which hasn't helped

Mail::queue(array('text' => 'emails.plaintext'), $data, function($message, $data)
{
        $message->from('my@email.co.za', 'My Name');

        $message->to($data['email'])->subject('Email Subject');
});

I've also tried defining a new variable for the email which hasn't worked either

$email = $data['email'];

Mail::queue(array('text' => 'emails.plaintext'), $data, function($message)
{
        $message->from('my@email.co.za', 'My Name');

        $message->to($email)->subject('Email Subject');
});

Solution

Try with function($message) use ($data), that should do it.
