How do I print foreach loop content within a controller?

Question

I have this function that prints a PDF containing the fetched data. I tried loading the view to generate the PDF but it did not work, so I opted on loading the HTML which works fine. The problem is how i will print out the contents within the foreach loop. How do Iprint the item values?

    public function create( Request $request ) {
    $items = DB::table( 'products' )->get();

    $pdf = App::make( 'dompdf.wrapper' );
    $pdf->loadHTML( '
  
      
          
              Dashboard
              
                  
                      foreach ($items as $item=>$key)
                        
                    endforeach
                      
                      
                          Product Name
                      
                      
                            $key->name
                        
                  
              
          
      
  
  
');
return $pdf->stream( 'quote.pdf' );
}

change this

     $pdf->loadHTML( '
  
      
          
              Dashboard
              
                  
                      foreach ($items as $item=>$key)
                        
                    endforeach
                      
                      
                          Product Name
                      
                      
                            $key->name
                        
                  
              
          
      
  
  
');

to

$html='

    
        
            Dashboard
            
                ';

foreach ($items as $item=>$key) {
    $html.='';
}

$html.='  
                    
                        Product Name
                    
                    '.$key->name.'
                    
                
            
        
    
    ';

$pdf->loadHTML($html);
