How to pass variables to view from controller in Laravel - php

Question

When user place his order it redirects him to another page which check if he made his payment or no. Now The controller is ready and I need to initialize the box which make this and I need to took some variables.. I don't know how to implement this into payment.blade.php. This is what I tried and doesn't seems to work.
This is the controller
public function paymentView( $orderId, $userId ) {
$order = Session::all();
$order = Order::where('order_id', $orderId)->first();
if (!$order) {
App::abort(404);
}
$userID = $order['user_id'];
$orderID = $order['order_id'];
$options = array(
...
);
// Initialise Payment Class
$box = new Cryptobox ($options);
// coin name
$coinName = $box->coin_name();
// Successful Cryptocoin Payment received
if ($box->is_paid())
{
if (!$box->is_confirmed()) {
$message = "Thank you for payment (payment #".$box->payment_id()."). Awaiting transaction/payment confirmation";
}
else
{
if (!$box->is_processed())
{
$message = "Thank you for order (order #".$orderID.", payment #".$box->payment_id()."). We will send soon";
$box->set_status_processed();
}
else $message = "Thank you. Your order is in process"; // General message
}
}
else $message = "This invoice has not been paid yet";
$languages_list = display_language_box($def_language);
return View::make('site.cart.payment', [
'order' => $order,
]);
}
Now I'm trying to put this in my view
#section('content')
#foreach($order->getOrderData(true) as $productId => $item)
<?php if (!$box->is_paid()) echo "<h2>Pay Invoice Now - </h2>"; else echo "<br><br>"; ?>
<?php echo $box->display_cryptobox(true, 580, 230); ?>
#endforeach
#endsection
When I run the page I've got error that box isn't defined.. How can I take this info in the view?

Answer 1

In the same way you've passed $order to the view. Replace the return at the bottom of you method with this return.
return View::make('site.cart.payment', [
'order' => $order,
'box' => $box
]);
The second argument passed to View::make() is an array of data that should be made available to the view.
