In laravel in controller pass variable to one function to another function

Question

I am coding in Laravel, How can I pass variable to one function to another function in Controller,

In controller file I have 2 functions like this

public function hiringEmployee(Request $request)
{
    $hireEmployee = new EmployeeHire();
    $hireEmployee->candidateName = $request->get('candidateName');

    $file = $request->file('file');
    $name = $file->getClientOriginalName();
    $file->move('uploads/cv', $name);

    $hireEmployee->file = $name;
    $hireEmployee->save();

    return redirect('list-candidate');
}


public function assignInterview(Request $request, $id)
{
    $assignInterview = EmployeeHire::find($id);
    $interview = $request->get('interview');
    $assignto = $request->get('assignto');
    $dateTime = $request->get('dateTime');
    $note = $request->get('note');

    $interviewDetails = ([
        'interview' => $interview,
        'assign_to' => $assignto,
        'date_time' => $dateTime,
        'note'      => $note,
    ]);

    $assignInterview->interview_details = $interviewDetails;
    $assignInterview->save();


    Mail::send('emails.hireemployee', ['candidateName' => $candidateName], function ($message) use ($assignto, $name) {
        $message->subject('Interview For New Candidate!');
        $message->from('[email protected]', 'HRM');
        $message->to($mail);
        $message->attach('uploads/cv/'.$name);
    });

    return redirect('list-candidate');
}

I want to use $candidateName and $name in assignInterview() function from hiringEmployee() function.

How can I do it?

You won't be able to use the $name and $candidateName directly from the other function as they look like they are for two different requests, however, it looks like you're saving that data to database when you're creating a new EmployeeHire in your hiringEmployee() method so you should already have access to that information in your assignInterview() method:

$assignInterview = EmployeeHire::find($id); // this is where you loading the model

$candidateName = $assignInterview->candidateName;
$name  = $assignInterview->file;

In your situation , you can use two approach:

#1

Use Session Variable as below:

Session::put('candidateName', $candidateName);

Then:

$value = Session::get('candidateName');

#2

Use class attribute:

class acontroller extends Controller
{    
    private $classCandidateName;

}

In your Controller that you have two functions, add two attribute into your class, after that you can call and use the value in attribute. if you want to call function another time, you can retrieve data from your database and use them.

You can try something like this:

public function hiringEmployee(Request $request)
{
    $hireEmployee = new EmployeeHire();
    $hireEmployee->candidateName = $request->get('candidateName');

    $file = $request->file('file');
    $name = $file->getClientOriginalName();
    $file->move('uploads/cv', $name);

    $hireEmployee->file = $name;
    $hireEmployee->save();

    return redirect('list-candidate');
}


public function assignInterview(Request $request, $id)
{
    $assignInterview = EmployeeHire::find($id);
     if(is_null($assignInterview)){
         return redirect()->back()->withErrors(['Error message here']);
     }

    $interviewDetails = ([
        'interview' => $request->get('interview'),
        'assign_to' => $request->get('assignto'),
        'date_time' => $request->get('dateTime'),
        'note'      => $request->get('note'),
    ]);

    $assignInterview->interview_details = $interviewDetails;
    $assignInterview->save();


    Mail::send('emails.hireemployee', ['candidateName' => $assignInterview->candidateName], function ($message) use ($assignto, $assignInterview->file) {
        $message->subject('Interview For New Candidate!');
        $message->from('[email protected]', 'HRM');
        $message->to($mail);
        $message->attach('uploads/cv/'.$assignInterview->file);
    });

    return redirect('list-candidate');
}

Please, you should to be careful with find($id). If it is a null, you will get an error.

Have fun!
