Accessing variable from another function from view ajax post

Question

I have a class like below :

class Giving extends Controller
{
    public function test()
    {
        $name; // i want to access $name from function below
        $email; // i want to access $email from function below
        return view('route/routes', [
            'name' => $name,
            'email' => $email
        ]);
    }

    public function sendGiving()
    {
        $name = $this->request->name;
        $email = $this->request->email;
    }
}

function sendGiving receives its value from ajax post (at blade view) :

data = {
    _token: '{{ csrf_token() }}',
    name: $('#txtName').val(),
    email: $('#txtEmail').val(),
    phone_number: $('#txtPhnum').val(),
}

$.ajax({
    url: "{{ route('sendGiving') }}",
    type: 'POST',
    data: data,
    dataType: 'JSON',
    success: function (response) {
        //do something
    }
});

Routes :

Route::get('/givingtest','Giving@test')->name('test');
Route::post('/givingsend', 'Giving@sendGiving')->name('sendGiving');

how can i access value from sendGiving() function to test() function ? Or can i make a second ajax post call in the view to send data to test() function ?

The only way to get those values for the subsequent request is to use Session. Store the values in session and get in the subsequent request — Basheer Kharoti

When do you want to access name and email? If you want to access them in another request you need to persist the values, maybe in DB or session — ajthinking

You can access one function from another by $this->test();. In your code you want to access variable from function test() where the variable are $email & $name, but both are undefined. So you cant do that. I saw, you gonna access /givingtest variable on route /givingsend in this case you need to send variable with form method from /givingtest to /givingsend route. Then you can access from function. — STA

You can access the whole function or give them to constructor — Akhtar Munir

As far as I understand your question I can see (at least) three ways here.

1. Use Session

public function sendGiving()
{
    session(['name' => $this->request->name, 'email' => $this->request->email]);
}

public function test()
{
    $name = session('name');
    $email = session('email');
    return view ('route/routes', compact('name', 'email'));
}

2. Pass the data to your function directly

Define givingtest as post route and just send the data to that function as well. So you can just do:

public function test()
{
    $name = $this->request->name;
    $email = $this->request->email;
    return view ('route/routes', compact('name', 'email'));
}

3. Persist the data in the database

If the data of sendGiving() is already valid and worthy to keep, why not save it in a database right away?
