I would like a button's url to take it to a page with a ID in the URL.
Controller:
public function printpreviewingredients($MealPlan_ID)
{
//contains the value
$ingredientsid = $MealPlan_ID;
return view('MealPlanDisplay.printpreviewingredientslist', compact('ingredientsid'));
The button with URL:
<div class="d-flex justify-content-end mb-4">
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="{{ url('/printpreviewingredients/pdf/$ingredientsid') }}">Export to PDF</a>
</div>
Despite the value $ingredientsid not being blank, it still won't place the value in the URL link. How can I pass a variable from the Controller method into a button url? I can get it working in a table with a @foreach loop, but presentation wise it doesn't look right.
You must concatenate the variable, don't use PHP inside of the single quote mark. When you use a single quote mark all the content inside of it is takes as string, even if you use PHP syntax.
Use:
href="{{ url('/printpreviewingredients/pdf/'.$ingredientsid) }}"
Instead of:
href="{{ url('/printpreviewingredients/pdf/$ingredientsid') }}"
