Laravel 5.2中的变量

Question

I have a method to get an author and display it on a form. It also retrieves the number of quotes attributed to that author. Being pedantic I do not wish to have "1 quotes" so I wrote the following in my layout:

@extends('layouts.dashboardmaster')

$quotetext = "quotes";

if ( $quotes == 1)
    { $quotetext = "quote"; }



@section('pageheading')
    <div class="well">
        <h2><i class = "fa fa-quote-left"></i> edit author ({{$author->author}}), ({{ number_format($quotes,0) }} {{}}$quotetext }}) </h2>
    </div>
@endsection

but I am now getting an error saying

Undefined variable: quotetext

It is clearly defined and I have also tried replacing {{ with

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

needs to be

<?php $quotetext = "quotes";

if ( $quotes == 1)
    { $quotetext = "quote"; }
?>
