How to send email with dynamic sender in laravel? - email

Question

I am creating a simple contact us from in Laravel.
I set up .env with my Gmail account. I can send email from Laravel with my email address, no problem with this.
But, I want to send email from sender address who is sending the message form contact us form.
Here is my code in controller:
public function sendMessage(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request,[
'email'=>'required|email',
'subject'=>'required',
'body'=>'required|max:150'
]);
$body = $request['body'];
Mail::send('emails.support',['body' => $body], function($message){
$email = Input::get('email');
$subject = Input::get('subject');
$message->sender($email);
$message->to('smartrahat#gmail.com','Mohammed');
$message->subject($subject);
});
return redirect('contactUs');
}
Though, I am getting email address form contact us form, the email always sent form my email account which I configured in .env

Answer 1

I would have done some things different. I guess $body is the email-text? You should put this in a array and add it as a parameter in Mail::send (or directly put $request->all() as a parameter.
Also, inside of the closure of Mail, i don`t thinks its very nice to put logic there (like $email=Input::get). It does not look right if you ask me.
Didn`t test this code, but this should work:
public function sendMessage(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request,[
'email' => 'required|email',
'subject' => 'required',
'body' => 'required|max:150'
]);
$data = [
'email' => $request->input('email'),
'subject' => $request->input('subject'),
'body' => $request->input('body')
];
Mail::send('emails.support', $data, function($message) use ($data)
{
$message->from($data['email']);
$message->to('smartrahat#gmail.com','Mohammed');
$message->subject($data['subject']);
});
return redirect('contactUs');
}
Because you add $data as as 'use', you can access this data inside the closure. The $data send as a parameter, can be used in the email blade. In this example, you can access the data like this: $email , $subject , $data, in blade these will output the values.
But you can also do it like this:
Mail::send('emails.support', $request->all(), function($message) use ($data)

public function reset_password(Request $request)
{
$user=User::whereEmail($request->email)->first();
if(count($user) == 1)
{
$data = array('name'=>"Virat Gandhi");
$subject=$request->email;
mail::send(['emails'=>'reset_set'],$data,
function($message)use($subject)
{
$message->from('your#gmail.com','kumar');
$message->to($subject);
$message->subject($subject);
});
echo "Basic Email Sent. Check your inbox.";
}
}

Answer 3

foreach ($emails as $value1)
{
$to[]=implode(',',$value1['0']);
}
$subject=$request->input('sub');
$mailsend=Mail::send('email.subscribe',$mail_content,
function($message)use($to,$subject)
{
$message->from('ganarone#ganar.io','Ganar');
$message->to($to);
$message->subject($subject);
});
