To POST an input using helpers - php

Question

i'm totally new to laravel. i'm trying to POST an input from another table but in same database using Helpers. I try to get name by email using Helpers. But i got this error:
Trying to get property 'name' of non-object (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\ims\resources\views\leave\add.blade.php)
Below is my Helpers:
public static function getnamebyemail($id)
{
$userdata = DB::table('hr_intern_table')->where('id', '=', $id)->first();
if(!empty($userdata))
{
return $userdata->name;
}
return '';
}
Below is the form that i try to get and post:
<div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-xs-6">
<div class="form-group form-float">
<label for="name" class="form-label">Trainee Name</label>
<div class="form-line">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" disabled value="{{Helpers::getnamebyemail($data->name)}}"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Below is my controller:
public function add($id)
{
$data = DB::table('leave_req_tb')->where('id', '=', $id)->first();
return view('leave.add', compact('data', 'id'));
}
public function store_request(Request $request, $id)
{
$data = $this->validate($request, [
'leave_applied'=>'required',
'start_leave'=>'required',
'end_leave'=>'required',
'justification'=>'required',
'sv_approval'=>'required',
'hod_approval'=>'required',
'hr_approval'=>'required',
]);
DB::table('leave_req_tb')->where('id', '=', $id)->insert([
'intern_id'=>$intern_id,
'leave_applied'=>$request->leave_applied,
'start_leave'=>$request->start_leave,
'end_leave'=>$request->end_leave,
'justification'=>$request->justification,
'sv_approval'=>$request->sv_approval,
'hod_approval'=>$request->hod_approval,
'hr_approval'=>$request->hr_approval,
'created_at' => now(),
]);
return redirect('/leave/view')->with('success', 'The profile has been updated successfully.');
}
I appreciate if someone can help me and explain why i got this error because i don't think there is a problem with my code.

Answer 1

Helper functions are global and don't have a class
So in your Helpers.php
Just place the
function getnamebyemail($id)
{
$userdata = DB::table('hr_intern_table')->where('id', '=', $id)->first();
if(!empty($userdata))
{
return $userdata->name;
}
return '';
}
along with the required imports
In your blade just use
{{getnamebyemail($data->name)}}
