Too few arguments passed with Mail::raw(), Laravel

Question

I keep getting this error:

"Type error: Too few arguments to function App\Http\Controllers\PageController::App\Http\Controllers\{closure}(), 1 passed and exactly 2 expected"

For this little snippet of code:

public function contact(Request $request)  {
    Mail::raw($request->message, function($message, $request)
     {
         $message->from($request->email, $request->name);

         $message->to('info@test.com');
     });
      return view('quotation.index');  
}

When changing the $request->email to a email string the function does work. But the email needs to come from the email entered in the laravel form. Could someone help me fix this issue?

You are getting error on this line $message->from($request->email, $request->name); ? — Romantic Dev

You are getting this error because you are passing variables to closure but in a wrong way.

You have to use use ($request) in closure if you want to pass a variable.

public function contact(Request $request)  {
    Mail::raw($request->message, function($message) use ($request)
     {
         $message->from($request->email, $request->name);

         $message->to('info@test.com');
     });
      return view('quotation.index');  
}

Hope this helps.
