Getting this error "syntax error, unexpected 'echo' (T_ECHO), expecting ';' " in Laravel while creating simple controller

Question

Hey I just start to learn Laravel. I have created Controller successfully with php artisan make:controller Youtube command. But the thing is when i try to access it from Route which look like this "Route::get("/Youtube","Youtube@index");" While there is simple echo statement in controller. Controller look like this

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class Youtube extends Controller
{
    function index(){
      echo "create";
    }
}

Answer 1

You can try this code, YoutubeController insted of Youtube. And URL should be lowercase.

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class YoutubeController extends Controller
{
    function index(){
      dd('create');
    }
}

Route::get("/youtube","YoutubeController@index");

Answer 2

Add, use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; before class and make the function as public This should work fine.

You just included namespace.
