How to redirect back to form with input - Laravel 5

Question

How do I redirect back to my form page, with the given POST params, if my form action throws an exception?

Answer 1

You can use the following:

return Redirect::back()->withInput(Input::all());

If you're using Form Request Validation, this is exactly how Laravel will redirect you back with errors and the given input.

Excerpt from \Illuminate\Foundation\Validation\ValidatesRequests:

return redirect()->to($this->getRedirectUrl())
                    ->withInput($request->input())
                    ->withErrors($errors, $this->errorBag());

Answer 2

this will work definately !!!

  $v = Validator::make($request->all(),[
  'name' => ['Required','alpha']
  ]);

   if($v->passes()){
     print_r($request->name);
   }
   else{
     //this will return the errors & to check put "dd($errors);" in your blade(view)
     return back()->withErrors($v)->withInput();
   }

Answer 3

You can use any of these two:

return redirect()->back()->withInput(Input::all())->with('message', 'Some message');

Or,

return redirect('url_goes_here')->withInput(Input::all())->with('message', 'Some message');

Answer 4

write old function on your fields value for example

<input type="text" name="username" value="{{ old('username') }}">

Answer 5

$request->flash('request',$request);

<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" value="{{ old('name') }}">

It works for me.

Answer 6

Laravel 5:

return redirect(...)->withInput();

for back only:

return back()->withInput();
