Creating default object from empty value in Laravel

Question

I have encountered the following error when I try and run my code

Creating default object from empty value

the line of code in question is :

   $this->layout->content = View::make('search', array('table' => $table));

any help would be greatly appreciated

I'd imagine you're following the tutorial too literally. $this can only be used the context of a class. If you're not sure what that means, this tutorial might be slightly above your current level.. — Dan Smith

You shall declare your layout first in controller. You should set the value of protected $layout to the name of view you want to set as layout for this controller i.e. protected $layout = 'layouts.master'; then it will get resolved to actual view when the controller gets instantiated. — Maksym

You don't have layout defined, declare it:

protected $layout = 'layout.default';

and then use

$this->layout->content = View::make('search', array('table' => $table));

Or another way:

$layout = new stdClass();
$layout->layout = new stdClass();

$layout->layout->content = View::make('search', array('table' => $table));
