I've been stuck on a laravel error a while now, it states that connection could not be established [#0] instead of placing everything correctly in my env file. I'm posting my code here maybe someone can help me out with my error.
My Controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Order;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Mail\OrderShipped;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class OrderController extends Controller
{
public function Orders($type='')
{
if($type =='pending'){
$orders=Order::where('delivered','0')->get();
}elseif ($type == 'delivered'){
$orders=Order::where('delivered','1')->get();
}else{
$orders=Order::all();
}
return view('admin.orders.index',compact('orders'));
}
public function toggledeliver(Request $request,$orderId)
{
$order=Order::find($orderId);
if($request->has('delivered')){
Mail::to($order->user)->send(new OrderShipped($order));
$order->delivered=$request->delivered;
}else{
$order->delivered="0";
}
$order->save();
return back();
}
}
The error occurs on Mail::to($order->user)->send(new OrderShipped($order)); line.
My OrderShipped:
<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
class OrderShipped extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
//
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* @return $this
*/
public function build()
{
return $this->view('emails.email-shipped');
}
}
