Hi Everybody.
I start with fresh laravel installation and adding my own composer package, it's not actually complex package just an PHP Class to generate random user agent.
But it's don't work like what i expected, The user agent is work perfectly but Laravel throw UnexpectedValueExpection The Response content must be a string or object implementing __toString(), "object", here my code
<?php
namespace Illucat\Agent;
class Agent {
public $Agent;
public function __construct()
{
$this->Agent();
}
public function Agent() {
switch (rand(0,44)){

}
echo $this->Agent;
}
}
And this is my controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illucat\Agent as Agent;
class AgentController extends Controller
{
public function aa()
{
return new Agent\Agent;
}
}
what wrong with my code? help me :(
@RIZALIO Wow, that hurts my eyes and gives me a headache. First of all, there no default in the switch statement. Second, are you sure you want to echo $this->Agent or return it? The error message states that probably Agent is not a string or an object implementing __toString().
@ejdelmonico the reason i didn't use default on switch() is cause i'm use rand(0,44) on it so why should use the default?, point 2 why I echo $this->Agent and not return it? Cause if i return it it not workwith same error code, but the user agent string not showing, help me
the problem should be obvious to you? your controller needs to return an object or a string so that it can pass it back to the browser, and you are returning neither.
what do you intend to do with this agent string?
That big case statement probably looked ok to start with but why not just an array of strings that you can index?
@Snapey Thank's for your sugest, after all of that I think is better to use array too. Thanks!
