Call to undefined method Illuminate\Mail\PendingMail::from()
I tried full of possibility, but I can not change the field FROM and REPLYTO
Can you help me ?

Answer 1

The Mail Facade does not implement the replyTo() method anymore. Instead this method has moved to the Mailable class itself. Official documentation proposes to use the build() method to setup the Mailable, however this is not always convenient (eg the replyTo field might be different each time)
However if you still want to use a similar syntax you can use:
$mailable = new myMailableClass;
$mailable->replyTo('reply#to.com');
Mail::to('email#tocom')
->send($mailable);
For a complete list of available methods on the Mailable class see the Mailable Documentation

Answer 2

In Laravel 5.4 Mailables, the replyTo, subject, cc, bcc and others can be set inside the mailable in the build method. This is also true for the to which can also be set on the Mail facade.
Here is a simple example of a contact form mailable using an array of attributes:
You may use the to static method directly on the Mail facade, but as an example, we're going to set it inside the mailable:
Mail::send(new ContactCompany($attributes));
Then set the replyTo inside the build method:
class ContactCompany extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
public $attributes;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* #param $attributes
*/
public function __construct($attributes)
{
$this->attributes = $attributes;
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* #return $this
*/
public function build()
{
$this->to($this->attributes['departmentEmail'], config('app.name'));
$this->replyTo($this->attributes['email'], $this->attributes['name']);
$this->subject(sprintf("New contact message from %s", $this->attributes['name']));
return $this->markdown('emails.contact.company');
}
}
Please, note that Mail::alwaysFrom() and Mail::alwaysReplyTo() can be used before Mail::send() to set the from and replyTo of all emails, so make sure to use them with care.

Answer 3

The preferred method of sending emails are now mailables and you can set from and reply to using from() or replyTo() methods.
However using plain Mail facades you should try to use alwaysFrom and alwaysReplyTo methods. However after sending such e-mail you should set again previous values to be sure no other emails will be impacted by this change.
But looking at method names it might be not the best solution so better is to look at mailables and use them to send e-mails in latest Laravel releases.

Problem resolved.
I edit app>Mail>Reservation.php
public function build()
{
// return $this->markdown('emails.reservation-email');
return $this->from($this->reservation->email)->markdown('emails.reservation-email');
}
app>Http>Request>ReservationForm.php
public function persist()
{
$reservation = Resa::create(
$this->only(['nom', 'email', 'phone', 'formule', 'date_arr', 'date_ret', 'nb_adu', 'nb_enf', 'lemessage'])
);
Mail::to('contact#cotiga.fr')->send(new Reservation($reservation));
}
