In PHP, I used to define some variables in my and use them in all my pages. How can I have something like that in Laravel?header.php
I am not talking about View::share('xx', 'xx' );
Assume I want to have a variable which holds a number in it and I need this number inside all my controllers to calculate something.
Sounds like a good candidate for a configuration file.
Create a new one, let's call it :calculations.php
Laravel ~4ish:
app
config
calculations.php
Laravel 5,6,7+:
config
calculations.php
Then put stuff in the new config file:
<?php return [ 'some_key' => 42 ];
Then retrieve the config in your code somewhere (note the file name becomes a "namespace" of sorts for the config item):
echo Config::get('calculations.some_key'); // 42 in Laravel ~4
echo config('calculations.some_key'); // 42 in Laravel ~5,6,7+
Set a property on the , which should be located in your directory.BaseControllercontrollers
Your controllers should extend the class and thus inherit its properties.BaseController
