Laravel Mail::send does not appear to accept variables

replied 10 years ago

I suspect this is because when using a closure (anonymous function) in PHP, if not explicitly passing the variables through - you need to use the "use" keyword so that they're available for use...

$subj = $_POST['subject'];

Mail::send('emails.contactmessage', array('from' => $sendername, 'email' => $email, 'msg' => $msg), function($message) use ($subj) {
  $message->to('[email protected]', 'Joe User')->subject($subj);
});

Also, when dealing with querystring (get) or form post data, you should use Laravel's helpers - e.g. Input::get('subject')

Nice.

And it works!

And I suppose I can populate other fields in anonymous functions with this 'trick'.

Thanks,
