Passing Data to view - Undefined variable

Question

I'm new to the Laravel Framework and I somehow got an issue that bothers me for days now.

I just wanted to pass a simple variable to a blade view, but any version that I found in any documentation or question on this platform unfortunately didn't lead to a solution.

I created a route which looks like this:

Route::get('test', 'PageController@index');

The Code in the PageController looks like this:

public function index(){
   $datatopass='datahere';
   return view('admin.test', compact('datatopass'));
}

And then I got the View that looks like this:

@section('content')
{{$datatopass}}
@stop

The problem is that I get 2 Exeptions:

#ErrorException in d9e848d01f99ac2368ead804bd322152 line 3:
Undefined variable: datatopass (View: /home/vagrant/test/resources/views/admin/test.blade.php)

ErrorException in d9e848d01f99ac2368ead804bd322152 line 3:
Undefined variable: datatopass

I'm using homestead development environment which is set up in a VirtualBox.

Any ideas what I've done wrong?

I really tried every type of datapassing like

return view('test')->with('datatopass', $datatopass)` 
//or
return view('datatopass', $datatopass)

and so on.

I'll be greateful for your help.

Weird, the ->with() and compact ones should work. Have you tried dd($datatopass) just before you return your view? What does it say? — Björn

Are you sure that you don't load this view in different places other than PageController? — Armen Markossyan

Yes the testpage ist just started by the PageController. And about dd(): no output here. Did I call it right.PageController public function index(){ $datatopass='datahere'; dd($datatopass); } — Alexander Donauer

There is no such namespace as view defined for php artisan — Alexander Donauer

Try this::

return view('test')->with('datatopass', $datatopass);

And in View access it as

<?php echo $datatopass ?>

Thank you. But I already solved the problem. Something was wrong in my route.php so the data wasn't passed to the right view.
