I am using a pre-existing Laravel function from a class. I want to pass an array into it and get the updated values when the function has complete. Is there a way to do this without using global variables? Currently $counts
is not updating outside of this function.
$counts = array(
'newly_added_count' => 0,
'updated_count' => 0,
);
Excel::load( 'storage/exports/test.xls', function ( $reader ) use($counts) {
$counts['newly_added_count'] = 100;
$counts['updated_count'] =100;
} );
