Drop down list in laravel booking form

I have been working to build a laravel form and for the fields where text input is required I have successfully created. The following part works.

1 Personal Information

{{ $errors->first('phone') }} However, I want to make a drop down list of countries (and after this two or three other drop down lists). This is the HTML part of it. How do I use a drop down list in Laravel where the selected country will appear in the email I receive after the user submits the form?

Nationality: * Afghanistan Albania Algeria (includes all the countries in the list)

I want to include this as a drop down and the selected item must appear on the email I get from the user. Is there any way to code this part without using the Laravel Collective HTML?

Sure, the Laravel Collective doesn't do any magic. You just have to program the logic yourself :)

You basically create a foreach loop for your countries like that:

<select name="country">
    @foreach ($countries as $country)
        <option value="{{ $country }}" @if(old('country', 'default country') == $country) selected="selected" @endif>{{ $country }}</option>
    @endforeach
</select>

Ive got the following error message. I guess I have to use the list of countries. How could I do that? Please help.
