<html>
<head>
<title>Hello from Laravel</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>{{ $details['title'] }}</h1>
<p>{{ $details['contents'] }}</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
</body>
</html>#4 Create a Controller to send Email
Create a controller by running the following command
php artisan make:controller EmailControllerThis command will generate a file app/Http/Controllers/EmailController.php
add the following code in this file –
/* add this in header */
use App\Mail\MyFancyEmail;
/**************************/
class EmailController extends Controller
{
public function enquiry(Request $request)
{
$mail_content = [
'title' => 'New Email from Laravel',
'body' => 'Silence is Golden'
];
Mail::to('someone@example.com')->send(new MyFancyEmail($mail_content));
}
}
