I'm trying to get data from a table called solutions and view the solution names in a dropdown list on a form called products.

I've created a provider called DynamicDropdown in App/Providers.

<?php



namespace AppProviders;



use AppDropdown;

use IlluminateSupportServiceProvider;



class DynamicDropdown extends ServiceProvider

{

    public function boot()

    {

        view()->composer('*', function ($view) {

            $view->with('product_array', Dropdown::all());

        });

    }

}

Controller

<?php



namespace AppHttpControllers;



use AppHttpRequests;

use AppHttpControllersController;

use AppProvidersDynamicDropdown;

use AppProduct;

use IlluminateHttpRequest;



class ProductsController extends Controller

{

    public function index(Request $request)

    {

        $select = ;

        foreach ($view as $data) {

            $select [$data->id] = $data->solutionname;

        }



        return view('products.products', compact('select'));

    }

}

I've called the select variable in the view but unfortunately, I'm getting an undefined variable error.

Blade

<div class="form-group <?php echo e($errors->has('solution') ? 'has-error' : ''); ?>">

    <?php echo Form::label('solution', 'Solution', ['class' => 'control-label']); ?>

    <?php echo Form::select('solution', $select, null,

        ('' == 'required') ? ['class' => 'form-control', 'required' => 'required'] : ['class' => 'form-control']); ?>

    <?php echo $errors->first('solution', '<p class="help-block">:message</p>'); ?>

</div>

Error Message is...

ErrorException thrown with message "Undefined variable: select (View:
E:LaravelIBMintresourcesviewsproductsproductsform.blade.php)

I tried many ways to fix it. But still could not find a solution. Appreciate if someone could assist.

Thank You.

It is because you are actually calling the $select variable on the wrong form. You return a view

  return view('products.products', compact('select'));

which means get the view products.blade.php on the folder products under the view folder.
and based on the error you put the $select variable on the form.blade.php.

Fix will be you return the view form.blade.php like this.

 return view('products.products.form', compact('select'));
