I'm kind of new to laravel and trying to pull data from a database but keep hitting an error page saying there's an undefined variable within the view.
I'm supposing there's something I'm doing wrong (or not doing) within the controller. So I have a create.blade.php that posts data from a form to the database and everything works fine, however I want it such that after posting to the database to redirect to the show.blade.php showing the uploaded data and here is where I hit a brick wall with the error messages.
This is my store function within the controller -
public function store(Request $request)
{
$data4page = new Data4page;
$data4page->h1Ttle = $request->h1Ttle;
$data4page->h4Ttle = $request->h4Ttle;
$data4page->description = $request->description;
$data4page->save();
/*redirecting to the content's show page*/
return redirect()->route('content.show', $data4page->id);
}
And this is the show function within the same controller -
public function show($id)
{
//
$data4page = Data4page::find($id);
return view('digital.show')->with(compact('data4page'));
}
The error message I'm getting is -
Undefined variable: data4page (View: /var/www/html/theproject/resources/views/content/show.blade.php)
And in the show.blade.php this is a sample of what I have -
<h1>{{ $data4page->h4Ttle }}</h1>
<p>{{ $data4page->description }}</p>
<h4>{{ $data4page->h4Ttle }}</h4>
Having said all that, I have also tried various means of returning the view within the show function of the controller but all these result in the same error message above. These variants include -
return view('content.show')->with('data4page', $data4page);
return view('content.show',['data4page'=>$data4page]);
Update: I earlier had typos but now the error I get is -
undefined variable: {"id":9,"h1Ttle":"h1 sample text","h4Ttle":"h4 sample text","description":"body text goes here"} (View: /var/www/html/theproject/resources/views/content/show.blade.php)
This is the show.blade.php -
@extends('main')
@section('title')
@section('content')
<div class="app-template">
<main class="wrapperMain">
<div class="">
<aside class="navSidebar">
<nav class="navProperty">
<h1 class="navProperty-title">{{ $data4page->h1Ttle }}</h1>
</nav>
<footer class="footerProperty">
<div class="upcomingSchedule">
<h4 class="upcomingSchedule-heading">{{ $data4page->h4Ttle }}</h4>
</div>
</footer>
</aside>
</div>
<div class="content content--withSidebar">
<div class="lead--Home">
<p>{{ $data4page->description }}</p>
</div>
</div>
</main>
@endsection
You have a name mismatch.
return view('content.show')->with(['name' => $data4page]);
Here you should use:
<h1>{{ $name->h4Ttle }}</h1>
As you called it name
In your other options you defined Data4page
and in your view you use data4page
(lower case d).
