undefined variable error in blade view - php

Question

I am currently working with Laravel 5.2, trying to display images on click
which I have currently stored in the Storage folder. I am trying to display these images in my blade view but every time it loads the page, it gets to an undefined variable exception.
Controller:
public function createemoji($action,$statusId)
{
$path = storage_path('app/public/images/'.$action.'.gif');
/*$request=new storage();
$request->comment=$path;
$request->user_id=Auth::user()->id;
$request->post_id=$statusId;
$request->save();*/
return redirect()->returnemoji()->with('file'->$path);
}
public function returnemoji($file)
{
return Image::get('$file')->response();
}
In my default view I tried using count() but everytime it loads the page, it gives me Undefined variable. How should I display it?

Answer 1

Try to change this:
->with('file'->$path);
To this:
->with('file', $path);

Answer 2

With function takes two arguments key and value
You can use this
return redirect()->returnemoji()->with('file',$path);

Answer 3

You can try this out:
Instead of:
return redirect()->returnemoji()->with('file'->$path);
Try this:
return $this->returnemoji($path);
Hope this helps you.

Answer 4

There are a few problems.
Single quotes do not process variables, so instead of this
return Image::get('$file')->response();
You could do this
return Image::get("$file")->response();
or
return Image::get("{$file}")->response();
but none of this is necssary since you are just using the variable by itself without any additional formatting, so remove the quotes altogether
return Image::get($file)->response();
The object operator -> is used in object scope to access methods and properties of an object. Your function returnemoji() is not a method of RedirectResponse class which is what the redirect() helper method returns.
The with() method is not appropriate here, you just need to pass a parameter to a function like this
return redirect()->returnemoji($path);
Optionally, I recommend following the PSR2 code style standard which includes camel cased variable names so createemoji() should be createEmoji(). Also I think you can usually omit response() when returning most data types in Laravel as it will handle that automatically for you.

Answer 5

I think you have to try the following:
Instead of:
return redirect()->returnemoji()->with('file'->$path);
Try this:
return redirect()->returnemoji($path);
And yes, remove the quotes from this:
return Image::get('$file')->response();
