Sometimes you might want to write PHP code inside the blade template itself to process some logic or just parse some data in general. To do that there are 2 ways.
Using Regular PHP Tags
The first way is to use regular starting and closing PHP tags like traditionally how it's written.

# views/partials/navbar.blade.php
<?php
$navLinks = [
'Home' => route('pages.home'),
'Contact' => route('pages.contact'),
'About' => route('pages.about'),
];
?>
<div>
@foreach($navLinks as $name => $link)
<a href="{{ $link }}">{{ $name }}</a>
@endforeach
</div>Using Blade Directive
The second way is to use PHP directive and it starts with @php and ends with @endphp
# views/partials/navbar.blade.php
@php
$navLinks = [
'Home' => route('pages.home'),
'Contact' => route('pages.contact'),
'About' => route('pages.about'),
];
@endphp
<div>
@foreach($navLinks as $name => $link)
<a href="{{ $link }}">{{ $name }}</a>
@endforeach
</div>
