How to pass instance of Request from a controller function to another controller function

Question

I have to call a function from one controller an other controller.

public function getquickviews(Request $request){
     $report = new ReportController();
     $report ->Applications($request->except('cl_e_start_date'));//it's not working its giving me error that it expect and instance of Request and passed array()
}



    public function Applications(Request $request) 
    {
/*APP USAGE*/
     }

and I have to pass instance of Request to Application function. But the issue I don't wanted to pass all the parameter from getquickviews Request like if I am getting email,phone,name on the getquickviews function but I only have to pass phone,email to Application function.

Answer 1

You need to create a new instance of Request.

public function getquickviews(Request $request){
 $report = new ReportController();
 $content = new Request();
 $content->something = $request->something;
 $content->somethingElse = $request->somethingElse;
 $report ->Applications($content);
 }

and then you have to recieve it in:

public function Applications(Request $request) 
{
/*APP USAGE*/
 }

and that's it. Regards.

Change this line

$report ->Applications($request->except('cl_e_start_date'));

To

$report ->Applications($request);
