creating a badge in the navbar and getting data from controller - php

Question

I'm using laravel. I'm trying to create a badge in the navbar and getting the number of rows from a specific table in the database. I have the following codes for the navbar:
<span class='badge badge-pill badge-info'>
#php !empty(session('notifications.all2')) ? print(array_sum(session('notifications.all2'))) : ""
#endphp
</span>
and this for the controller:
class NotificationsController extends Controller
{
public function index ()
{
$settings = NotificationSettings::where('user_id', Auth::id())
->orderBy('name')
->get();
$user = User::where('id', auth::id())
->select('id')
->first();
if(count($settings) == 0)
{
$tasks = Tasks::all();
foreach ($tasks as $task)
{
NotificationSettings::create([
'user_id' => $user->id,
'name' => $task->name,
'module' => 'Task Schedule'
]);
$settings = NotificationSettings::where('user_id', Auth::id())
->orderBy('name')
->get();
}
}
$checkRestockTask = Tasks::where('name', 'Available Restock Inventory')->first();
if($checkRestockTask){
$checkUser = NotificationSettings::where('user_id', Auth::id())
->where('name', 'Available Restock Inventory')
->first();
if(!$checkUser){
NotificationSettings::create([
'user_id' => $user->id,
'name' => 'Available Restock Inventory',
'module' => 'Task Schedule'
]);
$settings = NotificationSettings::where('user_id', Auth::id())

}
}
