Laravel: Undefined variable - laravel

Question

im having a problem with my code.
I want to show the record of the student who login but im having an
undefined variable on my view.blade
Here's my Model
class Attendance extends Eloquent {
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsTo('User', 'id');
}
}
Here's my Controller
public function viewstudentAttendance()
{
$students = Auth::user()->id;
//load view and pass users
return View::make('student.view')
->with('attendances', $students);
}
Finally here's my view.blade
#extends('layouts.master')
#section('head')
#parent
<title>View Attendance</title>
#stop
{{ HTML::style('css/bootstrap.css'); }}
#section('content')
</ul>
#if ($students->count())
<table class="table table-striped table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>First name</th>
<th>Last name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach ($students as $students)
<tr>
<td>{{ $students->id }}</td>
<td>{{ $students->firstname }}</td>
<td>{{ $students->lastname }}</td>
#endforeach
</tr>
{{ HTML::script('js/bootstrap.js'); }}
</tbody>
</table>
#else
There are no attendance recorded yet
#endif
#stop
I think the problem is with my view or how i declare the variable? Please help? :(

Answer 1

public function viewstudentAttendance() {
//This code turns ID ONLY Check the website out for a code that retrieves data so you can loop it.
$students = Auth::user() - > id;
//Code that counts number of student
$studentCount = XXX(Google It)
//load view and pass users
return View::make('student.view') - > with('attendances', $students);
//Return StudentCount too
}
Inside your blade template, use :
#if ($studentCount > 10)
instead of
#if ($students->count())
Your students is returning ID, how could you "Count"
http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/eloquent
Inside your blade you kept doing if($students) bla bla, just to let you know it's attendances
->with('attendances', $students);
Attendances is the variable your blade will see, $student is the data you are pushing into attendances for blade
