Laravel mail: pass string instead of view

update: In Laravel 5 you can use raw instead:

Mail::raw('Hi, welcome user!', function ($message) {  $message->to(..)    ->subject(..);});

This is how you do it:

Mail::send([], [], function ($message) {  $message->to(..)    ->subject(..)    // here comes what you want    ->setBody('Hi, welcome user!'); // assuming text/plain    // or:    ->setBody('<h1>Hi, welcome user!</h1>', 'text/html'); // for HTML rich messages});

For Html emails

Mail::send(array(), array(), function ($message) use ($html) {  $message->to(..)    ->subject(..)    ->from(..)    ->setBody($html, 'text/html');});

The Mailer class passes a string to addContent which via various other methods calls views->make(). As a result passing a string of content directly won't work as it'll try and load a view by that name.

What you'll need to do is create a view which simply echos $content

// mail-template.php<?php echo $content; ?>

And then insert your string into that view at runtime.

$content = "Hi,welcome user!";$data = [    'content' => $content];Mail::send('mail-template', $data, function() { });
