Send array data to email through Laravel Mailable - php

Question

I have the following lines for the create.blade.php (My Form)
<form action="/contact" method="POST">
<div class="form-control">
<fieldset>
<legend><span class="number">1</span> Personal Information</legend>
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name *" value="{{old('name') }}">
<div>{{ $errors->first('name') }} </div>
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Phone *" value="{{old("email") }}">
<div>{{ $errors->first('email') }} </div>
<input type="text" name="phone" placeholder="Phone *" value="{{old('phone') }}">
<div>{{ $errors->first('phone') }} </div>
<label for="message">Message</label>
<textarea type="text" name="message" id="message" cols="30" rows="10">{{old('message') }}
</textarea>
<div>{{ $errors->first('message') }} </div>
<?php
$countries = array('India' => 'India',
'Pakistan' => 'Pakistan',
'Bosnia' => 'Bosnia',
'Andorra' => 'Andora',
'Haiti' => 'Haiti',
'Australia' => 'Australia',
'Maldives' => 'Maldives'
);
?>
<label for="message">Country</label>
<select name="country">
#foreach ($countries as $country)
<option value="{{ $country }}" #if(old('country') == $country) selected="selected" #endif>{{
$country }}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
#csrf
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send message</button>
</div>
</form>
For my contact-form.blade.php (Mailable) I have the followig. This is supposed to show the submitted data in the email that I receive. The problem is I get all the data in input fields (Name, Number Email) BUT I dont get the selected country data. The problem most probably lies in the following lines.
#component('mail::message')
#Requested Information
<strong>Name</strong> {{ $data['name'] }}
<strong>Email</strong> {{ $data['email'] }}
<strong>Message</strong> {{ $data['message'] }}
<strong>Country</strong> {{ $data['$country'] }}
#endcomponent

Answer 1

The correct is $data['country'] not $data['$country'].

Answer 2

I think you are looking for the following code
$data=array(
'Name' => $request->name,
'email' => $request->email,
'country'=>$request->country,
'phone'=> $rwquest->phone,
);
Mail::send('here your email filename', $data, function($message) {
$message->subject(''); //subject of email
$message->from(); // sender email address
$message->to(); //receiver email
});

Answer 3

I have inserted the following line
$countries = $_POST['country'];
Now it looks like this
<select>
$countries = $_POST['country'];
#foreach ($countries as $country)
<option value="{{ $country }}" name="country"
#if(old('country') == $country) selected="selected"
#endif>
{{ $country }}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
Also the following line in my mailmake
Country {{ $data['country'] }}
I get the error undefined index:country
