Sending email
I am trying to understand the concept of sending email.
contact.blade.php
<form class="form-horizontal" action="" method="POST">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="email">Nama:</label>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<input type="email" class="form-control" name="nama" id="email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="pwd">Email:</label>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="email" id="pwd" >
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="pwd">Nomor Telepon:</label>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="telp" id="pwd" >
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="pwd">Type Proyek:</label>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<select class="form-control" name="project">
<option value="Project1">Project1</option>
<option value="Project2">Project2</option>
<option value="Project3">Project3</option>
<option value="Project4">Project4</option>
<option value="Project5">Project5</option>
<option value="Project6">Project6</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="pwd">Pesan:</label>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<textarea name="pesan" class="form-control"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
FPController.php
public function sendmail()
{
Mail::to($request->user())
->send(new OrderShipped($order));
Session::flash('flash', 'successfully send email');
return view('contact');
}
web.php
Route::post('/sendmail', 'FPController@sendmail');
I am not sure how to send the information from contact page to the intended email address?
Level 27
I am not sure what to write in the FPController.php in order to send the contact information?
Can you help? forget about the ordershopped. I am not sure how to write the mail in order to send the contact form information.
Level 102
Think of it like a controller and blade file. The mailable is the "controller". You pass data to the constructor and add it to $this (replace order with whatever data you need)
public function __construct(Order $order)
{
$this->order = $order;
}
And pass it to the blade view
public function build()
{
return $this->view('emails.orders.shipped', $this->order);
}
Level 102
BTW.. If you have never sent emails using code before, be careful with your html. Emails mostly only support tables and removes your css references. If you use the markdown version of the mailable, laravel will handle this for you (you will loose some design control though)
Level 27
I cannot understand where to put the mail template? and is it possible to put the form data into my mail template?
Level 102
As I said it is just a blade file,so it goes in views. The example would be
/views/emails/orders/shipped.blade.php
And you could just pass the form data to the constructor
Mail::to($request->user())
->send(new OrderShipped($request->all() ));
Level 27
Where to write this files?
public function __construct(Order $order)
{
$this->order = $order;
}
public function build()
{
return $this->view('emails.orders.shipped', $this->order);
}
Is this to call the mail template? What file is it and where to look at in laravel?
Level 102
It goes inside the mailable in app/Mail
php artisan make:mail MyMailName
Level 27
FPController.php
public function sendmail(request $request)
{
$data = Contact::find(1);
Mail::to($data->contact_email)
->send(new ContactMail($request->all()));
Session::flash('flash', 'successfully send email');
return view('contact');
}
ok, I created ContactMail:
Mail/ContactMail.php
class ContactMail extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct($request->all())
{
//
$this->name = $request->name;
$this->email = $request->email;
$this->phone = $request->phone;
$this->project = $request->project;
$this->pesan = $request->pesan;
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* @return $this
*/
public function build()
{
return $this->view('mail.contact', $this->name, $this->email, $this->phone, $this->project, $this->pesan);
}
}
Is this the correct way to do it?
views/mail/contact.blade.php
<html>
<body>
<h3>Pesan Baru untuk Anda</h3>
<p>
Name : {{ name }}
Email : {{ email }}
Phone : {{ phone }}
Project : {{ project }}
Pesan : {{ pesan }}
</p>
</body>
</html>

1. php artisan make:mail ContactMail --markdown=emails.contact
2. open file ContactMail and write this
public function __construct(Order $order)
{
$this->order = $order;
}
public function build()
{
return $this->from('email from', 'and anything youre project')
->markdown('emails.contact')
->with('order', $this->order);
}
3. in youre contact.blade.php
get data with {{ $order->name }}
4.in youre controller
$to = Mail::to($request->get('email'))->send(new ContactMail($order));
hope this can help you
Level 102
@davy_yg Yes I believe that should work 😊
Level 27
What is orders?
public function sendmail(request $request)
{
// $request->name;
// $request->email;
// $request->phone;
// $request->project;
// $request->pesan;
$data = Contact::find(1);
Mail::to($data->contact_email)
->send(new ContactMail($request->all()));
Session::flash('flash', 'successfully send email');
return view('contact');
}
I thought it should $request->all() since these are all the fields from the contact forms.
Level 102
I belive orders are just an example. Yours should be fine (expect for the formatting of the email). Does it not work?
Level 27
What should I write in: views/mail/contact.blade.php ?
<html>
<body>
<h3>Pesan Baru untuk Anda</h3>
<p>
Name : {{ name }}
Email : {{ email }}
Phone : {{ phone }}
Project : {{ project }}
Pesan : {{ pesan }}
</p>
</body>
</html>
In order to test do I have to put my website on the web server? Is it possible to test the contact form from localhost using xampp as the server?
Level 102
You just need a valid mailserver. Try mailtrap
Level 27
I already sign up mailtrap and get my first email of mailtrap and already set the config in .env
After I click submit the contact form I get:
419 Page Expired
Any clue why?
Level 73
Level 27
syntax error, unexpected '->' (T_OBJECT_OPERATOR), expecting ')'
I get an error in my Mail\ContactMail.php
public function __construct($request->all())
Level 102
Oh yeah missed that. Should be something like
public function __construct($data)
{
//
$this->name = $data['name'];
$this->email = $data['email'];
Level 27
I get Undefined index: name
Level 102
Did you try dd($data)?
Level 27
Argument 2 passed to Illuminate\Mail\Mailable::view() must be of the type array, string given, called in D:\xampp72\htdocs\aws_admin\app\Mail\ContactMail.php on line 39
line 39: return $this->view('mail.contact', $this->nama, $this->email, $this->phone, $this->project, $this->pesan);
Level 102
Please read about passing data to a view.
Hint, it need to be an array. This is just a normal view
Level 27
Connection could not be established with host smtp.mailtrap.io [The requested address is not valid in its context. #10049]
All my MAIL_*=
does not use '(quote)
Any clue why?
Level 102
Strange. Did you set the port?
Also you can try turning off your firewall (just while testing)
Level 2
@davy_yg Settingan .env untuk email ganti pakai log ajah dulu biar enak tesnya
Untuk yang tdi saya buat itu contoh
Level 27
What do you mean by using log?
Level 102
@davy_yg He means that you can use the log driver to just output it to the log file
https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/mail#mail-and-local-development
Level 2
@davy_yg so with the driver log all messages whether they succeed or not will be recorded on the ground ... well if we use the log we can see the message was sent or not
change this
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
to
MAIL_DRIVER=log
if it's successful just try another driver
this my setting driver mail
AIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=25
MAIL_USERNAME=get a username at mailtrap.io
MAIL_PASSWORD=get a password at mailtrap.io
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl

I finally ask someone to help me out. I eventually use gmail. I am going to close this forum. Thanks all.
