PhP call a function and pass parameters to construct - php

Question

I have a class social which has:
protected $id;
public function __construct($request, $id)
{
Log::info('Processing...', ['request' => $request, 'id' => $id]);
try {
$client = new Client();
$url = sprintf($request);
$response = $client->get($url);
$json = json_decode((string) $response->getBody(), true);
return $json;
} catch (ClientException $exception) {
$responseBody = $exception->getResponse()->getBody(true);
Log::error($responseBody, ['entity_id' => $id]);
}
}
public function wikipedia($wikipedia_url, $id)
{
dd($json);
try {
$wikipedia_array = $json['parse']['text'];
$wikipedia_array = array_slice($wikipedia_array, 0, 9);
$wikipedia_array = implode($wikipedia_array, ',');
Log::info('Processed Wikipedia for', ['entity_id' => $id]);
return $wikipedia_array;
} catch (Exception $e) {
Log::error('Wikipedia:', ['message' => $e->getMessage(), 'entity_id' => $id]);
}
}
In another function I am calling a facade like this:
$id = $entity->id;
$wikipedia_id = $entity->wikipedia;
if (!empty($wikipedia_id)) {
$wikipedia_url = 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&prop=text&section=0&disablelimitreport=1&format=json&page='.$wikipedia_id;
$wikipedia_html = Social::wikipedia($wikipedia_url, $id);
Log::info('Wikipedia ok for', ['entity_id' => $id]);
}
However I get this:
Type error: Too few arguments to function App\Helpers\Social::__construct(), 0 passed in /home/vagrant/liveandnow/app/Providers/SocialServiceProvider.php on line 35 and exactly 2 expected
Can anyone explain to me how to call a method, pass parameters to it but also pass them along to construct?
Here's my facade:
<?php
namespace App\Facade;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;
class Social extends Facade
{
/**
* Get the registered name of the component.
*
* #return string
*/
protected static function getFacadeAccessor()
{
return 'social';
}
}
and service provider:
public function register()
{
$this->app->bind('social', function ($app) {
return new Social;
});
}

Answer 1

the error lies in the service provider.
You define a constructor with 2 parameters,
public function __construct($request, $id)
but in your service provider you call it like this:
public function register()
{
$this->app->bind('social', function ($app) {
return new Social;
});
}
You need to add both arguments when instantiating the Social class, for example like
return new Social("http://xyz.de", 1);
Hope this helps.
