I'm trying to send a basic verification email using Laravel and an account on mailgun.com. I've followed the instructions here and am getting errors. here's my code:
Route::post('/register', array('before'=>'reverse-auth', function(){
$data=Input::all();
if ($data['password'] != $data['confirm-password']){
return Redirect::to('/register');
}
$user = new User;
$user->email=$data['email'];
$user->password=Hash::make($data['password']);
$user->first=ucfirst($data['first']);
$user->last=ucfirst($data['last']);
$user->address=$data['street'].", ".$data['city'].", ".$data['state']." ".$data['zip'];
$user->phone=$data['phone'];
$user->confirmation=Str::random(32);
$user->confirmed=0;
$user->save();
Mail::send('emails.verify', $user->toArray(), function($message){
global $user;
$message->to($user['email'], $user['first']." ".$user['last']);
$message->from('noreply@localhost', 'Do Not Reply');
});
}));
My error looks like this:
Client error response [url] https://api.mailgun.net/v2/sandboxa666975e4b514342a58e4d7d3e6c2366.mailgun.org/messages.mime [status code] 400 [reason phrase] BAD REQUEST
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
As an aside, why is $user
not an object within the function? Shouldn't the global
keyword force it to be the same as the $user
object outside the function?
