Laravel provides an easy interface for mail sending. One day, I am working with Laravel Mail function. Suddenly, I had some issues with mail function of Laravel. When I check the error log I found like “expects parameter 1 to be string, array given error exception”
Next exception ‘ErrorException’ with message ‘htmlentities() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given (View: BASE_BATH/resources/views/emails/users.blade.php)’ in BASE_BATH/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/helpers.php:469
So, Somewhere in my blade template, which I use “message” for the content. When I am trying to print “message” at that time I got the exception like
expects parameter 1 to be string, array given error exception
Next exception ‘ErrorException’ with message ‘htmlentities() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given
My code for sending mail looks like
Laravel Mail Code
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
$mailTemplate = "Welcome to the Laravelhive."; Mail::send('emails.users', ['message' => $mailTemplate,'name' => 'Saroj'], function($message) { $message->to('foo@example.com', 'John Smith')->subject('Welcome!'); }); |
Laravel Mail Blade template “users.blade.php” looks like
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
<p>Hello There,</p> <ul> <li><strong>Name:</strong> {{ $name }}</li> </ul> <p>{{ $message }}</p> |
When I check my code everything seems to look fine. As you can see my code everything looking fine. Finally, I got a solution after spending 5 hours. I made a silly mistake on my code.
The Solution
The solution is quite simple as I create a silly mistake on my code. It is also mention in Laravel Mail Documentation.
Note: A $message variable is always passed to e-mail views, and allows the inline embedding of attachments. So, it is best to avoid passing a message variable in your view payload.
As per Laravel Mail documentation $message variable is always passed to e-mail blade template. When I am trying to pass and access the $message variable from view/blade template.
Finally, I found the solution from the Laravel documentation.
The solution is We need to rename $message variable to $text and everything should work perfectly. Just rename the $message variable.
