syntax error, unexpected 'use' (T_USE)

Question

I have a short PHP snippets on top of my blade file

<?php


use App\ImageWork, App\User, App\Skill, App\Contact, App\ActivityLog;

$images   = ImageWork::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();
$users    = User::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();
$logs     = ActivityLog::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();
$skills   = Skill::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();
$contacts = Contact::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();

?>

I got this :

syntax error, unexpected 'use' (T_USE)

when I don't add that line, I got this

Class 'ImageWork' not found

What should I do now either way is wrong ?

Any hints / suggestions ?

Is it even possible to use the use keyword in Blade templates? Try removing that line and changing ImageWork:: to App\Imagework:: etc. Also, this is something you should not be doing in your templates. — Joel Hinz

Just out of curiosity, why is this at the top of your blade file rather than being in a controller and then passed through? I can't honestly tell you the answer because the actual code itself looks fine but maybe considering moving it to your controller - if it doesn't work then, we can look at other reasons :) — Ryan Lund

A quick googling says that you can't, see e.g. stackoverflow.com/questions/18227439/… — Joel Hinz

Include the DB facade

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

And try to use that:

$images   = DB::table('ImageWork')->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();

Why should he use DB::table when he has models

brunohdaniel Over a year ago

If it work and the other models don´t get the same error he can isolate the problem to the ImageWork model and find what cause the error in the model.
