with this approach

View::make('hello', $data);

every index in ```$data```` array will be become a variable, for example if

$data = [ 'msg' => 'hello world!' ];
return View::make( 'viewfile', $data );

then in your viewfile, you will got a variable called $msg

I recommend to you, use the with function instead of passing an array directly to the make function

try this

return View::make( 'viewfile', $data )->with( 'data', $data );

now in your view, there will a variable called $data available to use

Thanks alot;

I can even remove the first $data from this code:

return View::make( 'viewfile', $data )->with( 'data', $data );

Becomes

return View::make( 'viewfile' )->with( 'data', $data );

also know that you can chainable it

return View::make( 'viewfile', $data )
    ->with( 'data', $data )
    ->with( 'moreData', $moreData )
    ->with( 'msg', 'hola amigo' );

Hello,

Where might I find documentation or more of an explanation of the "with" function? Is this part of Eloquent?

Thanks so much for any assistance you can provide -
