Hi, I have trouble with a transaction. I want to improve a dashboard view in my applicaton. To do so, I want to do a transaction in my DashboardController with multiple queries and pass the data I got from the DB to the dashboard view. I thougth this should look somethink like this:

$data = [];

DB::transaction(function() use ($user, $data)
{
	$data = [
		'bookings_count' => $user -> bookings() -> count(), 
	];
});

return view('dashboard', $data);

But I always get an "undefined variable" error when trying to access the dashboard view: "Undefined variable: bookings_count (View: C:\lamp\www\chargio\resources\views\dashboard.blade.php)". I use blade like this:

{{ $bookings_count }}

Works without problems if I remove the transaction stuff. But without a transaction... How can I make the code above work???

Thanks, Micheal
