ErrorException in helpers.php line 533: - laravel

Question

I'm making a contact form with laravel 5.4 and I want to get an email when someone sends the contact form. I'm using Mailtrap to receive emails.
The problem I'm getting is that I get this error when I submit the form.
ErrorException in helpers.php line 533:
htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\website\app\Modules\Templates\Resources\Views\emails\contact.blade.php)
My contact function
public function contact()
{
$data = Input::all();
$rules = array(
'name' => '',
'email' => '',
'message' => '',
);
$validator = Validator::make($data, $rules);
if($validator->passes())
{
Mail::send('templates::emails.contact', $data, function($message){
$message->from(Input::get('email'), Input::get('name'));
$message->to('info#site.com', 'Info')->subject('Testing contact form');
});
Session::flash('success', 'Your message has been sent successfully.');
return back();
}else{
return back()->withErrors($validator);
}
}
and my contact.blade.php that is the information that gets sent to me
<h1>We been contacted by.... </h1>
{{ $name }}<br />
{{ $email }}<br />
{{ $subject }}<br />
{{ $message }}<br />

Answer 1

You're passing the $data which holds the array of input. You need to access them like shown below.
Change the data being passed to
Mail::send('templates::emails.contact', compact('data'), function($message)
Change your view code to
{{ $data['name'] }}<br/>
{{ $data['email'] }}<br/>
{{ $data['message'] }}<br/>
You're also trying to access subject in the view when isn't available in the input.

Answer 2

you need to Add $subject in ur cantact function or remove it from cantact.blade.php, try this code :
public function contact()
{
$cdata = Input::all();
$crules = array(
'name' => '',
'email' => '',
'subject' => '',
'message' => '',
);
$validator = Validator::make($cdata, $crules);
if($validator->passes())
{
Mail::send('templates::emails.contact', $cdata, function($message){
$message->from(Input::get('email'), Input::get('name'));
$message->to('info#site.com', 'Info')->subject('Testing contact form');
});
Session::flash('success', 'Your message has been sent successfully.');
return back();
}else{
return back()->withErrors($validator);
}
}
and some times u got an error because ur variables have the same name of stored variables ( like data,timer,for ... etc)
