Can't see variable inside @php @endphp directive
I am inside a for loop and need to associate a value to a variable without outputting it on the screen. This is inside the loop
<p>Play Ended at --> {{$end = $p->updated_at->toTimeString()}}</p>
@php $end = $p->updated_at->toTimeString() @endphp
the $p->updated_at->toTimeString() is recognised perfectly in the
tag but not inside the @php directive.
Can anyone offer any insight. My goal is attribute that value to $end without it displaying on the screen.

@Sinnbeck Urgh... what happens is that I am a total asshole.
It's fine it does work. It's my brain that's the issue.
Cheers for replying to this inside a minute lol.

@Sinnbeck My IDE was throwing a red flag at it so I just went into "something is wrong" mode. It executes as I wanted it to.
Idiot.

@Mick79 hehe yeah it probably don't like it. Personally I would look into moving it out of the view as well (or at least inside a helper directive or similar)

@Mick79 I'm sure there is a way. Why do you need to set it as a variable? Can't you just use an accessor on the model?

@Sinnbeck You might be going above my pay grade there...
The reason I'm doing it as I am is because I'm taking data that's being captured in the browser by user interactions. I still don't know if that means I can't do it the way you've suggested haha.
btw I was browsing around for solutions this morning and stumbled upon your blog. Very cool. Bookmarked.

@Mick79 thanks! Maybe show the whole code block and we can try and see if it's possible to clean it up a bit
