How to fetch the name of the url inside the laravel mailer? - php

Question

I have a webpage with 4 different urls
www.sample.com\home
www.sample.com\about
www.sample.com\products
www.sample.com\contact
I have a contact form in all the pages of my webpage.
I need to know the Page, from where the contact form is submitted from either(home, about, products or services).
I use laravel mailer to send mail, once the contact form is submitted.
Contact form:
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="{{substr(strrchr(url()->current(),'/'),1)}}">
<form method="POST" action="sendEmail">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="{{ old('name') }}" />
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" value ="{{ old('email') }}"/>
<label for="message">Message</label>
<textarea name="body" id="message" rows="5"> {{ old('message') }}</textarea>
<button class ="primary"> Submit </button>
</form>
Controller:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request as PostRequest;
public function store()
{
$data = request()->validate([
'name' => 'required',
'email' => 'required|email',
'body' => 'required'
]);
// To get the current URL
$currentPage = PostRequest::input('url');
\Mail::send('E-mail view', $data, $currentPage, function($message) use ($data, $currentPage){
$message->to('abc#xyz.com')
->from($data['email'], $data['name'])
->replyTo($data['email'], $data['name'])
->returnPath($currentPage)
->subject('Notification');
});
return back();
}
I need the URL as home, about, products, contact, from where the Contact form is submitted from not the form action sendEmail inside the E-mail View blade file
Email View Blade:
<p> $name </p>
<p> $email</p>
<p> $currentPage </p>
It throws an Error
Function name must be a string
How to pass the current URL from Where the Form is submiited from (home, about,..) to Mail?
Could anyone please help?
Many thanks.

Try like this
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request as PostRequest;
public function store()
{
$data = request()->validate([
'name' => 'required',
'email' => 'required|email',
'body' => 'required'
]);
// To get the current URL
$currentPage = request()->url();
$data['currentPage'] = $currentPage;
\Mail::send('E-mail view', $data, function($message) use ($data, $currentPage){
$message->to('abc#xyz.com')
->from($data['email'], $data['name'])
->replyTo($data['email'], $data['name'])
->returnPath($currentPage)
->subject('Notification');
});
return back();
}
