Laravel htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in my project?
So i'm trying to code a simple website form. But it has this htmlspecialchars error.
I've tried to make {{ $message }} but it didn't work. has the same error.
this is my controller :
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Mail;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class ContactMessageController extends Controller
{
public function create()
{
return view('form');
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'name' => 'required',
'email' => 'required|email',
'address' => 'required',
]);
Mail::send('emails.contact-message', [
'message' => $request->message
], function($mail) use($request) {
$mail->from($request->email, $request->name);
$mail->to('[email protected]')->subject('Contact message');
});
return redirect()->back()->with('flash_message', 'thanks');
}
}
and this is my blade
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

</div>
</body>
</html>
and this is my contact-message.blade.php
{{ $message }}

Answer
Just change the array key from message to messages in your controller like below:
$data = array(
'messages' => $request->message
);
and also in the blade print it as {{$messages}}
A $message variable is always passed to e-mail views, and allows the inline embedding of attachments. So, it is best to avoid passing a message variable in your view payload.
