Hi everyone,
I'm fairly new to Laravel and I'm currently working on a blade template. I'm trying to declare a variable within the blade template itself, but I'm not sure of the correct syntax to use.
I understand that in regular PHP, we would simply use the "$" sign followed by the variable name. However, I'm not sure if the same syntax applies within the blade template.
Could someone please help me with the correct syntax to declare a variable within a blade template? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey there,
I understand your query as I also had a similar question when I first started using Laravel's blade templates. Declaring a variable within a blade template is straightforward. You can accomplish this by using the "@" symbol followed by the keyword "php" and enclosing your code within "@php" and "@endphp" tags.
Here's an example:
@php
$message = "Hello, Laravel!";
@endphp
Once you've declared the variable, you can utilize it within the blade template using the "{{$message}}" syntax. You can also perform operations or concatenate the variable with other strings, just like in regular PHP.
Remember, the blade template engine transforms your code into regular PHP code during compilation, allowing you to use PHP syntax within the template.
Feel free to ask if you have any further questions. Cheers!
