[php] Laravel 5.2 redirect back with success message

I'm trying to get a success message back to my home page on laravel.

return redirect()->back()->withSuccess('IT WORKS!');

For some reason the variable $success doesn't get any value after running this code.

The code I'm using to display the succes message:

@if (!empty($success))
    <h1>{{$success}}</h1>
@endif

I have added the home and newsletter page to the web middleware group in routes.php like this:

Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
    Route::auth();

    Route::get('/', function () {
        return view('home');
    });

    Route::post('/newsletter/subscribe','NewsletterController@subscribe');
});

Does anyone have any idea why this doesn't seem to work?

All of the above are correct, but try this straight one-liner:

{{session()->has('message') ? session()->get('message') : ''}}

You can simply use back() function to redirect no need to use redirect()->back() make sure you are using 5.2 or greater than 5.2 version.

You can replace your code to below code.

return back()->with('message', 'WORKS!');

In the view file replace below code.

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

For more detail, you can read here

back() is just a helper function. It's doing the same thing as redirect()->back()

You can use laravel MessageBag to add our own messages to existing messages.

To use MessageBag you need to use:

use Illuminate\Support\MessageBag;

In the controller:

MessageBag $message_bag

$message_bag->add('message', trans('auth.confirmation-success'));

return redirect('login')->withSuccess($message_bag);

Hope it will help some one.

In Controller

return redirect()->route('company')->with('update', 'Content has been updated successfully!');

In view

@if (session('update'))
  <div class="alert alert-success alert-dismissable custom-success-box" style="margin: 15px;">
     <a href="#" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="close">&times;</a>
     <strong> {{ session('update') }} </strong>
  </div>
@endif

in Controller:

 `return redirect()->route('car.index')->withSuccess('Bein ajoute')`;

In view

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

Controller:

return redirect()->route('subscriptions.index')->withSuccess(['Success Message here!']);

Blade

@if (session()->has('success'))
<div class="alert alert-success">
    @if(is_array(session('success')))
        <ul>
            @foreach (session('success') as $message)
                <li>{{ $message }}</li>
            @endforeach
        </ul>
    @else
        {{ session('success') }}
    @endif
</div>
@endif

You can always save this part as separate blade file and include it easily. fore example:

<div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-6">
            @include('admin.system.success')
            <div class="box box-widget">

you can use this :

return redirect()->back()->withSuccess('IT WORKS!');

and use this in your view :

@if(session('success'))
    <h1>{{session('success')}}</h1>
@endif

One way to do that is sending the message in the session like this:

Controller:

return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'IT WORKS!');

View:

@if (session()->has('success'))
    <h1>{{ session('success') }}</h1>
@endif

And other way to do that is just creating the session and put the text in the view directly:

Controller:

return redirect()->back()->with('success', true);

View:

@if (session()->has('success'))
    <h1>IT WORKS!</h1>
@endif

I hope it is very helpful, regards.
