How can i get the name from the contact form input field to my email instead of the static name i have given in the controller, hope my question is understandable.

Answer 1

Instead of using

->to('jareerzeenam.29@gmail.com', 'Email Title')

use

->to([['mail' => 'jareerzeenam.29@gmail.com', 'name' => 'Email Title']])

So, to() accepts array of receivers, and a receiver can be an array with name and mail.

Answer 2

You just need to assign name and email , I didn't find subject, so I left it as default.

Try this:

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $name = $request->name;
    $email = $request->email;
    $textmessage = $request->message;

    $data = array('name' => $name, 'email' => $email, 'textmessage' => $textmessage);
    Mail::send('mail', $data, function ($message) use ($name, $email) {
        $message->to('jareerzeenam.29@gmail.com', 'Email Title')->subject('Test Subject 2');
        $message->from($email, $name);
    });
    echo "HTML Email Sent. Check your inbox.";
}
