Laravel, return view with Request::old

Question

fHello, for example, i have simple input field (page index.php)

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

In controller

$this->validate($request, ['name' => 'required']);

After this, i want make some check without Laravels rules. For example

if($request['name'] != 'Adam') { return view('index.php'); } 

But after redirect, Request::old is empty. How to redirect to index.php and save old inputs and use Request::old, or its impossible? Thank you.

PS its example, i know that Laravel has special rules for check inputs value

Answer 1

Old question, but for future reference, you can return the input to a view by flashing the request input just beforehand.

i.e.

session()->flashInput($request->input());

return view('index.php');

then in your view you can use the helper

{{ old('name') }}

or

{{Request::old('name')}}

Answer 2

You can use back() instead if any url. These function helps you in any case to be able to return to previous page without writing route.

return back()->withInput();
