laravel's validator doesnt return input fields

Question

problems with returning inputs. after form submitted, if validator fails it doesnt return 'old' inputs. here's my controller

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
        'user_rate' => 'required|integer|between:1,5',
        'user_comment' => 'required',
    ], [
        "user_rate.integer" => trans('errors.rate-required'),
        "user_rate.between" => trans('errors.rate-required'),
        "user_rate.required" => trans('errors.rate-required'),
        "user_comment.required" => trans('errors.com-required'),

    ]);

    if ($validator->fails()) {
        return redirect()->back()->withErrors($validator)->withInput($request->input());
        //return redirect()->back()->with(Input::all());
    }

i have tried several ways(also $request->flash(), but it doesnt return 'old' inputs

In your controller

public function someFunction(Request $request)
{
    //Validation Logic

    if($v->fails())
    {
        return redirect()->back()->withInput();
    }
}

In your view

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

Hope this helps.
