Laravel 5.0 Undefined variable result - php

Question

I have a form that a user enters and takes the entry and queries the database and returns to a view. I have managed to get one query working but when trying to work on another query it returns an undefined variable error in the view. See below:
Routes
Route::get('/shopsales', 'shopsalescontroller#index');
Controller
class shopsalescontroller extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
$storeNum = request('storeNum');
$result = shopsales::where('StoreNumber','=',$storeNum)
->get();
return view('shopsales',compact('result'));
}
}
shopsales view
<section>
<center><h1><STRONG>Query Data</STRONG></h1></center>
<ul>
#foreach ($result as $results)
<li>Report Name = {{ $results->ReportName}} | Report ID = {{ $results->ReportID}} | Store Number = {{ $results->StoreNumber}} | Store Name = {{ $results->StoreName}} | Week Number = {{ $results->WeekNumber}} |
Year = {{ $results->Year}} | PerfumeName = {{ $results->PerfumeName}} | Units Sold = {{ $results->UnitsSold}} | Sales = {{ $results->Sales}}
</li>
<br>
#endforeach
</ul>
</section>
I have used the exact code for the query that is working, struggling to understand why this is not.

Answer 1

try this
in App\Route
Route::resource('/shopsales','ShopSalecontroller');
This routes the following actions: index, create, store, show, edit, update and destroy.
add this function to shopsales model
public function scopeNumber($query, $number){
if($number != null){
$query->where('storeNumber','=', "$number");
}
}
in ShopSalesController index:
public function index(Request $request){
$result = shopsales::get()->number($request->storeNumber)->all();
return view('shopsales',compact('result'));
}
Remember to have in the index view a form with the field storeNumber

Answer 2

public function index()
{
$storeNum = request('storeNum');
$result = shopsales::where('StoreNumber','=',$storeNum)
->get();
return view('shopsales',['result'=>compact('result')]);
}
Change your controller code like above.
Also check if $result is not null.

Answer 3

Try something like this
public function storeCheckout(Request $request) {
$storeNum=$request->get('storeNum');
$result = shopsales::where('StoreNumber','=',$storeNum)
->get();
return view('shopsales',compact('result'));
}

Answer 4

Solved, though sorry for wasting your time, some of my views should of had a capital letter in them, fixed that cleared the view cache and now i have the queries.

Answer 5

in action index
change var $result to $results
in view index
#foreach ($results as $result)
#endforeach
