Dynamically access array in Laravel Blade

Question

I have an issue dynamically accessing an array in one of my views.

I begin by organizing the values I need easy access to into $entityClubStats like this:

$entityClubStats = [];
foreach($entity->clubs as $club) {
    $entityClubStats[$club->name] = [
        'days_to_pay' => $club->pivot->days_to_pay,
        // ...
    ];
}

Then I iterate the master list of clubs with the intent of filling in relevant values if they exist:

@foreach (Club::isIncludedInStats()->get() as $club)
<div>
    <label>Name</label>
    <input type="text" value="{{$club->name}}" readonly />
</div>
<div>
    <label>Days to Pay</label>
    <input type="text" name="club_days_to_pay" value="{{$entityClubStats[$club->name]['days_to_pay']}}" />
</div>
<!-- ... -->
@endforeach

The problem is that while I've tried using {{double_brackets}} and <?= standard_syntax ?>, this segment results in a white screen:

$entityClubStats[$club->name]['days_to_pay'];

However, it does work when I simply hardcode the $club->name:

$entityClubStats['AAA']['days_to_pay'];

Why?

Answer 1

Turns out it died when it didn't see the $club->name it was looking for in $entityClubStats. Doh!
