发送邮件Laravel 5.4

Question

I'm trying to send emails in Laravel 5.4 but I keep getting an error "500 internal server error"

I want to send the email using an AJAX request to a controller and from there I would send the email I want to.

Here is my .env file

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=[e-mail]
MAIL_PASSWORD="My Email Password"
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

My ajax request

$('#form').on('submit', function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  e.stopPropagation();
  let data = $('#form').serialize();
  let name = $('input[name=name]').val();
  let phone = $('input[name=phone]').val();
  let message = $('textarea[name=message]').val();
  $.post('/create', data, function(data, textStatus, xhr) {
    console.log(textStatus);
    if (data.lang == '/en') {
      $('.notification').css('left', '15px');
      window.setTimeout(function() {
        $('.notification').css('left', '-350px');
      }, 5000);
    } else {
      $('.notification').css('right', '15px');
      window.setTimeout(function() {
        $('.notification').css('right', '-350px');
      }, 5000);
    }
    $("input[name=name]").val('');
    $("input[name=phone]").val('');
    $("textarea[name=message]").val('');
  });
})

My web.php

Route::post('create', 'EnquiryController@send');

My EnquiryController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Response;
use \App\Mail\Enquiry;
use Mail;

class EnquiryController extends Controller
{

     public function send() {

       // I tried this way and didn't work so i tried the one beneath
      // Mail::to('[e-mail]')->send('emails.enquiry');

      Mail::send('emails.enquiry', [], function($message) {
        $message->to('[e-mail]')->subject('Test');
        $message->from('[e-mail]', 'Abdul Elah');
      });

      return response()->json([ 'message' => 'Message Sent Successfully' ]);

    }
}

and I have a simple html with <h1> Hello World </h1> in resources/views/emails/enquiry.blade.php.

The problem I have is that the browser keeps logging the 500 error without any data that could be useful to debug.

Answer 1

The problem simply was that i didn't restart the server, guess i had to do it after editing the .env file
