OctoberCMS - Mail::send(), Undefined variables - Laravel

I am trying to send the SAME email to multiple addresses given from an array $emails.

I created a class called SendMail, and inside is a sendPost() method that accepts 2 arguments: ($post, $emails)

Here is my code:

class SendMail {

public static function sendPost($post, $emails)
{
        Mail::send('acme.blog::mail.message', $post, function($message) {

            $message->to($emails);
            $message->from('[email protected]', 'Compuflex Mail');
            $message->subject($post['subject']);
            $message->replyTo($post['email']);

        });
    }
}

The problem is, I keep receiving an error:

"Undefined variable $emails" on Line 14 of C:\...\SendMail.php

Line 14: $message->to($emails);

What I have tried:

  1. I checked to see if I can access the $post and $emails variables inside of sendPost(), but outside of Mail::send(). And the answer is YES, I can access the information inside of $post and $emails inside of sendPost(), so the variables are, in fact, being passed to the sendPost() method.

  2. I, at first, thought it had something to do with the fact that $emails is not one of the arguments for Mail::send(), so I put $post and $emails into one array called $vars, but then I got the error:

"Undefined variable $vars" on Line 14 of C:\...\SendMail.php

So, I realized that the issue seems to be that I can't pass any variables to Mail::send(), or in other words, I just don't know how to...

Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thomas Yamakaitis

You need to pass the $emails variable as follows: 

class SendMail {

public static function sendPost($post, $emails)
{
        Mail::send('acme.blog::mail.message', $post, function($message) use ($emails) {

            $message->to($emails);
            $message->from('[email protected]', 'Compuflex Mail');
            $message->subject($post['subject']);
            $message->replyTo($post['email']);

        });
    }
}
