I am trying to redirect to the previous page with a message when there is a fatal error.

App::fatal(function($exception) { return Redirect::back()->with('msg', 'The Message'); } 

In the view trying to access the msg with

Sessions::get('msg') 

But nothing is getting rendered, am I doing something wrong here?

Try

return Redirect::back()->withErrors(['msg' => 'The Message']); 

and inside your view call this

@if($errors->any()) <h4>{{$errors->first()}}</h4> @endif

This works, how cool. But why wont this work return Redirect::back()->with('msg', 'The Message'); how to get the "msg" here ?
Have you tried to see if the message is there? Session::has('msg')
Yes checked Session::has('msg') and the 'msg' is not there.
@giannischristofakis It sure seems like it. I have no idea what I was smoking that cold foggy morning in September.
For 5.4, withErrors('some error') - so needs to be a string instead of array.

Laravel 5 and later

Controller

 return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'your message,here'); 

Blade:

@if (\Session::has('success')) <div class="alert alert-success"> <ul> <li>{!! \Session::get('success') !!}</li> </ul> </div> @endif

Array to string conversion :(
Comment left as edit: If it gives Error : Array to String Conversion, then just small fix in controller return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'your message here');
@Michael What do you mean if? It definitely returns an array!
This one worked in Laravel 9. In controller I have used: return redirect()->back()->with('message', 'Quantity Constraint Failed'); Inside blade of redirected location, I put @if(session()->has('message')) <p class="alert alert-success">{{session('message')}}</p> @endif
@Rajib thanks, I used your code and it worked perfectly for me.

Alternative approach would be

Controller

use Session; Session::flash('message', "Special message goes here"); return Redirect::back(); 

View

@if (Session::has('message')) <div class="alert alert-info">{{ Session::get('message') }}</div> @endif

In Laravel 5.4 the following worked for me:

return back()->withErrors(['field_name' => ['Your custom message here.']]);

Hi. The accepted answer is for use in Laravel 4 (see the question tag), the parameters for the withErrors() method in the answer is an array with two elements: ['msg', 'The Message']. See the api for acceptable parameters: laravel.com/api/4.2/Illuminate/Http/…
In my answer, for use in Laravel 5.4, the parameters for the withErrors() method is an array with one element that is a key => value pair, where the value is an array. 5.4 API: laravel.com/api/5.4/Illuminate/Http/…

You have an error (misspelling):

Sessions::get('msg')// an extra 's' on end 

Should be:

Session::get('msg') 

I think, now it should work, it does for me.

Just set the flash message and redirect to back from your controller functiion.

 session()->flash('msg', 'Successfully done the operation.'); return redirect()->back(); 

And then you can get the message in the view blade file.

 {!! Session::has('msg') ? Session::get("msg") : '' !!}

I think {!! Session::get("msg", '') !!} should be enough. get() already checks if the key exists and returns the default value otherwise.

In Laravel 5.5:

return back()->withErrors($arrayWithErrors); 

In the view using Blade:

@if($errors->has()) <ul> @foreach ($errors->all() as $error) <li>{{ $error }}</li> @endforeach </ul> @endif

$errors->has() was fail but $errors->any() work well

For Laravel 5.5+

Controller:

return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'your message here'); 

Blade:

@if (Session::has('success')) <div class="alert alert-success"> <ul> <li>{{ Session::get('success') }}</li> </ul> </div> @endif

This works for me in Laravel 8

In laravel 5.8 you can do the following:

return redirect()->back()->withErrors(['name' => 'The name is required']); 

and in blade:

@error('name') <p>{{ $message }}</p> @enderror

#Laravel-9 Inside the blade where this redirection back action initiated

return redirect()->back()->with('message', "The Message"); 

Inside the blade where this form, will be returned after the above action

@if(session()->has('message')) <p class="alert alert-success"> {{ session()->get('message') }}</p> @endif

in controller

For example

return redirect('login')->with('message',$message); 

in blade file The message will store in session not in variable.

For example

@if(session('message')) {{ session('message') }} @endif

I know this is an old post but this answer might help somebody out there.

In Laravel 8.x this is what worked for me: You can return the error to the previous page or to another page.

return Redirect::back()->withErrors(['password' => ['Invalid Username or Password']]); 

This will also work:

return view('auth.login')->withErrors(['username' => ['Invalid Username or Password']]); 

Please ENSURE, however, that the page/view you are returning has a field name that corresponds to the first parameter passed in the withErrors method (in this case, username or password) and that the @error directive in your view references the same field like this

@error('password') //or @error('username') <span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert"> <strong>{{ $message }}</strong> </span> @enderror 

for example

Hope this helps somebody. Cheers.

I stopped writing this myself for laravel in favor of the Laracasts package that handles it all for you. It is really easy to use and keeps your code clean. There is even a laracast that covers how to use it. All you have to do:

Pull in the package through Composer.

"require": { "laracasts/flash": "~1.0" } 

Include the service provider within app/config/app.php.

'providers' => [ 'Laracasts\Flash\FlashServiceProvider' ]; 

Add a facade alias to this same file at the bottom:

'aliases' => [ 'Flash' => 'Laracasts\Flash\Flash' ]; 

Pull the HTML into the view:

@include('flash::message') 

There is a close button on the right of the message. This relies on jQuery so make sure that is added before your bootstrap.

optional changes:

If you aren't using bootstrap or want to skip the include of the flash message and write the code yourself:

@if (Session::has('flash_notification.message')) <div class="{{ Session::get('flash_notification.level') }}"> {{ Session::get('flash_notification.message') }} </div> @endif 

If you would like to view the HTML pulled in by @include('flash::message'), you can find it in vendor/laracasts/flash/src/views/message.blade.php.

If you need to modify the partials do:

php artisan view:publish laracasts/flash 

The two package views will now be located in the `app/views/packages/laracasts/flash/' directory.

Here is the 100% solution

*Above mentioned solutions does not works for me but this one works for me in laravel 5.8:

$status = 'Successfully Done'; return back()->with(['status' => $status]); 

and receive it as:

@if(session()->has('status')) <p class="alert alert-success">{{session('status')}}</p> @endif 

1 Comment

The solution will work perfectly with 5.8 just try doing it like this. Controller return back()->withErrors(['yourfieldname' => 'yourerrormsg.']); Blade @error('email') <span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert"> <strong>{{ $message }}</strong> </span> @enderror
4

It works for me and Laravel version is ^7.0

on Controller

return back()->with('success', 'Succesfully Added'); 

on Blade file

@if (session('success')) <div class="alert alert-success"> {!! session('success') !!} </div> @endif 

For documentation look at Laravel doc

For laravel 5.6.*

While trying some of the provided answers in Laravel 5.6.*, it's clear there has been some improvements which I am going to post here to make things easy for those that could not find a solution with the rest of the answers.

STEP 1:

Go to your Controller File and Add this before the class:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect; 

STEP 2: Add this where you want to return the redirect.

 return Redirect()->back()->with(['message' => 'The Message']); 

STEP 3: Go to your blade file and edit as follows

@if (Session::has('message')) <div class="alert alert-error>{{Session::get('message')}}</div> @endif 

Then test and thank me later.

This should work with laravel 5.6.* and possibly 5.7.*

In blade

 @if(Session::has('success')) <div class="alert alert-success" id="alert"> <strong>Success:</strong> {{Session::get('success')}} </div> @elseif(session('error')) <div class="alert alert-danger" id="alert"> <strong>Error:</strong>{{Session::get('error')}} </div> @endif 

In controller for success

 return redirect()->route('homee')->with('success','Successfully Log in '); 

for error

 return back()->with('error',"You are not able to access");

I faced with the same problem and this worked.

Controller

return Redirect::back()->withInput()->withErrors(array('user_name' => $message)); 

View

<div>{{{ $errors->first('user_name') }}}</div>

laravl 8

Route::post('/user/profile', function () { // Update the user's profile... return redirect('/dashboard')->with('status', 'Profile updated!'); }); 

Blade syntax

@if (session('status')) <div class="alert alert-success"> {{ session('status') }} </div> @endif

For Laravel 3

Just a heads up on @giannis christofakis answer; for anyone using Laravel 3 replace

return Redirect::back()->withErrors(['msg', 'The Message']); 

with:

Laravel 5.6.*

Controller

if(true) { $msg = [ 'message' => 'Some Message!', ]; return redirect()->route('home')->with($msg); } else { $msg = [ 'error' => 'Some error!', ]; return redirect()->route('welcome')->with($msg); } 

Blade Template

 @if (Session::has('message')) <div class="alert alert-success" role="alert"> {{Session::get('message')}} </div> @elseif (Session::has('error')) <div class="alert alert-warning" role="alert"> {{Session::get('error')}} </div> @endif

I got this message when I tried to redirect as:

public function validateLogin(LoginRequest $request){ // return redirect()->route('sesion.iniciar') ->withErrors($request) ->withInput(); 

When the right way is:

public function validateLogin(LoginRequest $request){ // return redirect()->route('sesion.iniciar') ->withErrors($request->messages()) ->withInput();

 **Try This** Try This Code --- Controller --- return redirect('list')->with('message', 'Successfully'); return redirect('list'); ---- Blade view ------ @if(session()->has('message')) <div class="alert alert-success"> {{ session()->get('message') }} </div> @endif

As of laravel 9.19, If you use Session::flush(), It will delete all of your session data so you should use Session::put().

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session; Session::put('msg', 'The Message'); If you want to store the data in an array use, Session::push('msg','The message'); This will return an array in your view. 

You can now access the session data in your view with the session() helper function. In your case that will be:

session('msg')
