Mailgun sending email laravel

Question

i use mailgun and the setting is done and i've test it and work, but i dont understand why i can't send email without array, here i tried using array but idk why it's error said Undefined variable: data

public function kirim(Request $request){

    $data = array(
        'email_address'=>$request->email_address,
        'cc'=>$request->cc,
        'subject'=>$request->subject,
        'keterangantambahan'=>$request->keterangantambahan
    );

    Mail::send('laporan.kirim', $data, function($message) {
        $message->from('[email protected]', 'PuraBox');
        $message->to($data['email_address']);
    });

    return redirect('/');
}

any idea how to use array corectly ??

Answer 1

Use a use.

Looks like you are using a php version which supports closures

Mail::send('laporan.kirim', $data, function($message) use ($data) {
    $message->from('[email protected]', 'PuraBox');
    $message->to($data['email_address']);
});

The second parameter of the send() method is to set mail options. Does not place the variable inside the function body.

The use puts variables into the body of the function
