php - Call view from function of controller -

here 2 versions of testcontroller, think same, testcontroller calls welcome.blade.php file.

as result of code, 'welcome' view shown.

class testcontroller extends controller { public function first($status) {             if($status==0)     return view::make('welcome'); }  } 

but code creates blank page.why happens?

class testcontroller extends controller { public function test() {     return view::make('welcome'); } public function first($status) {             if($status==0)   $this->test(); }  } 

you should return view controller method:

public function first($status) {             if ($status === 0)         return $this->test();     } }
