The syntax seems good but I would suggest you to use the compact method to send data to your view.

return view('home', compact('surveys'));

Thank you @faisal I tried that but it didn't seem to work either :) I'm still getting the Undefined variable $surveys error message.

Hello @shazam7734

The use for compact or not is a question of taste and in this case not part of your problem ;)

With $surveys = DB::select('select name, value from surveys'); you create a query builder but didn't execute it. I did check the documentation and see you miss the ->get() part.

I suspect if you update the code to $surveys = DB::select('select name, value from surveys')->get(); that you will receive the results.

ps. I have updated your post to make the code blocks more readable.

Hi @tvbeek

Thank you for your response and for updating my code blocks. I am new to this platform as well and wasn't sure how to do it.

I tried adding the ->get(); method to the end of my query builder, but am met with the same undefined variable error. I am not sure what I could be missing!

Hi @faisal

Thank you for your sound suggestions. I have managed to work out the issue :)
