Using variable in a different function of the same controller laravel - php

Question

i know this question looks like a easy one and asked many times, but i tried all the possible solution and nothing seems to work. so please don't mark this as duplicate until a solution has been found. So here is the problem,
I have defined a variable $msg_body in tabloader function.
I want to use it in tabloader1 function which is in the same controller.
here is the code and all the solutions that i tried, below is my tabloader function
public function tabloader(Request $request){
$msg_body= Message::where('id', $request->id)->value('body');
$msg_topic= Message::where('id', $request->id)->value('topic');
$this->tabloader1($msg_body);
//$name = $request->$msg_body;
//$a = new RtrController();
//$a->tabloader1();
//Session::put('key', $msg_body);
//$response = Response::make('Hello World');
//return $response->withCookie(Cookie::make('name', 'value', $msg_body));
//DB::table('sendmessages')->insert(array('body1'=>$msg_body, 'phone_nos'=>'1111'));
//foreach($item_nos as $item_no)
//Sendmessage::insert(array('body1'=>$msg_body, 'phone_nos'=>'1234' )); //'phone_nos'=>$item_no
//endforeach
//return view('adminCenter',compact('prod'));
}
and below is my tabloader1 function
public function tabloader1($msg_body){
$prod=Message::get()->all();
$item_nos=DB::table('items')->pluck('phone_no');
//dd($item_nos);
$item_ids=DB::table('items')->pluck('id');
//$name = Session::get('key');
//$value = Cookie::get('name');
//Sendmessage::create(array('body1' => $value,'phone_nos' => '11113'));
DB::table('sendmessages')->insert(array('body1'=>$msg_body, 'phone_nos'=>'1111'));
//foreach($item_nos as $item_no){
//foreach($item_ids as $item_id){
//DB::table('sendmessages')->whereId($item_id)->update(array('phone_nos'=>$item_no ));
//DB::table('sendmessages')->insert(array('body1'=>$msg_body, 'phone_nos'=>'1111'));
return view('adminCenter',compact('prod')); //here i want it to return to .. know the syntax? no
}
i am using that variable to insert it into a table sendmessages
and the error is
"in tabloader1 function, the argument 1 is missing."
I have tried various solutions as you can see the commented lines in code.
Really hoping for a solution, Thanks

try this :
public function tabloader(Request $request){
$msg_body= Message::where('id', $request->id)->select(['body'])->first();
$msg_topic= Message::where('id', $request->id)->select(['topic'])->first();
return $this->tabloader1($msg_body);
}
public function tabloader1($msg_body=''){ // '' if empty
.
.
return view('adminCenter',compact('prod')); //here i want it to return to .. know the syntax? no
}
