How to call a controller function inside a view in Laravel 5?

The controller method you want to use can be added inside the view as shown below –

<?php echo App\Http\Controllers\StudentController::test(); ?>

Here App\Http\Controllers\StudentController is the controller and test() is the method we want to call.

Example 1

The view is student.blade.php.Here we are calling the controller studentController and the method test(). The method test() is defined inside the studentController as shown below −

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Student;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
use URL;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\App;

class StudentController extends Controller {
   public function index() {
      return view('student');
   }
   public function validateform(Request $request) {
   }
   public function test() {
      echo "Testing controller function in view";
   }
}

HTML File

<html>
<head>
  <title>Student Form
</head>
<body>
   @if (count($errors) > 0)
      <div class = "alert alert-danger">
         <ul>
         @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
            <li>{{ $error }}</li>
         @endforeach
         </ul>
      </div>
   @endif

   <?php
   echo Form::open(array('url'=>'/student'));
      echo App\Http\Controllers\StudentController::test();
   ?>
   <table border = '1'>
   <tr>
      <td align = 'center' colspan = '2'>Student Registration</td>
   </tr>
  <tr>
      <td>Name</td>
      <td><?php echo Form::text('name'); ?></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>Email</td>
      <td><?php echo Form::text('email'); ?></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>Age</td>
      <td><?php echo Form::text('age'); ?></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>Address
      <td><?php echo Form::text('address'); ?></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td align = 'center' colspan = '2'><?php echo Form::submit('submit'); ?></td>
   </tr>
   </table>
<?php
   echo Form::close();
?>
</body>
</html>

Example 2

You can make use of the following code to make use of the controller inside your view.

<?php use App\Http\Controllers\StudentController;
   StudentController::test();
?>

After adding the above code, the view is as follows −

<html>
<head>
   <title>Student Form</title>
</head>
<body>
   @if (count($errors) > 0)
      <div class = "alert alert-danger">
         <ul>
         @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
            <li>{{ $error }}</li>
         @endforeach
         </ul>
      </div>
   @endif
   <?php
      echo Form::open(array('url'=>'/student'));
   ?>
   <?php use App\Http\Controllers\StudentController;
      StudentController::test();
   ?>
   <table border = '1'>
   <tr>
      <td align = 'center' colspan = '2'>Student Registration</td>
  </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>Name</td>
     <td><?php echo Form::text('name'); ?></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td>Email</td>
      <td><?php echo Form::text('email'); ?></td>
   </tr>
  <tr>
      <td>Age</td>
      <td><?php echo Form::text('age'); ?></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>Address</td>
      <td><?php echo Form::text('address'); ?></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td align = 'center' colspan = '2'><?php echo Form::submit('submit'); ?></td>
   </tr>
   </table>
   <?php
      echo Form::close();
   ?>
</body>
</html>

Example 3

You can also make use of the controller by wrapping it inside the curly braces in the blade template as shown below −

{{ App\Http\Controllers\StudentController::test() }}

Inside view, it will be as follows −

<html>
<head>
   <title>Student Form</title>
</head>
<body>
   @if (count($errors) > 0)
      <div class = "alert alert-danger">
         <ul>
            @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
               <li>{{ $error }}</li>
            @endforeach
         </ul>
      </div>
   @endif
   <?php
      echo Form::open(array('url'=>'/student'));
   ?>
   {{ App\Http\Controllers\StudentController::test() }}
   <table border = '1'>
  <tr>
      <td align = 'center' colspan = '2'>Student Registration</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>Name</td>
      <td><?php echo Form::text('name'); ?></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>Email</td>
      <td><?php echo Form::text('email'); ?></td>
   </tr>
  <tr>
      <td>Age</td>
     <td><?php echo Form::text('age'); ?></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>Address
      <td><?php echo Form::text('address'); ?></td>
   </tr>
  <tr>
      <td align = 'center' colspan = '2'><?php echo Form::submit('submit'); ?></td>
   </tr>
   </table>
   <?php
      echo Form::close();
   ?>
</body>
</html>

The controller is as follows −

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Student;

//use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
use URL;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\App;

class StudentController extends Controller{
   public function index() {
      return view('student');
   }

   public function validateform(Request $request) {
      $data = file_get_contents('php://input');
      print_r($data);
   }
   public function test() {
      echo "Testing controller function in view";
   }
}

Output

The output of the above code is
