Question

Answer 1

Please use redirect()->intended() instead in Laravel 5.1

You can also see more about it here: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/authentication

Answer 2

add this to LoginController:

protected function redirectTo(){
    return url()->previous();
}

Note: if present the field $redirectTo , remove it

Answer 3

You can use redirect back with Laravel 5:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Redirect;   
class SomeController extends Controller { 
    public function some_method() {
       return Redirect::back()
    }
}

Answer 4

Solution for laravel 5.3:

In loginController overwrite the showLoginForm() function as this one:

public function showLoginForm()
{
    if(!session()->has('url.intended'))
    {
        session(['url.intended' => url()->previous()]);
    }
    return view('auth.login');    
}

It will set the "url.intended" session variable, that is the one that laravel uses to look for the page which you want to be redirected after the login, with the previous url.

It also checks if the variable has been set, in order to avoid the variable to be set with the login url if the user submit the form with an error.

Answer 5

in your RedirectIfAuthenticated.php change this code

public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
    {
        if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
            return redirect()->intended('/contactus');
        }

        return $next($request);
    }

please notice to :

return redirect()->intended('/contactus');

Answer 6

For Laravel 5.5, following code worked for me by just updating LoginController.php

public function showLoginForm()
{
    session(['link' => url()->previous()]);
    return view('auth.login');
}


protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
{
    return redirect(session('link'));
}
