Laravel return back with post data

Question

i'm developing a web app with Laravel. I'm new with this amazing framework and i'm still learning.

My problem: i would to use

return back();

at the end of a method of controller, but passing to the back page some post data.

Example of what i want to do:

return back()->withPostData(['id'=>'10']);

Is possible to do that with Laravel?

Answer 1

You can try as:

Redirect::back()->withInput();

From the docs..

To retrieve flashed input from the previous request, use the old method on the Request instance:

$id = $request->old('id');

Answer 2

You can use session to pass the data:

return redirect()->back()->with('id', 10);

And then get data with session('id').

But if you're using forms and just want to get old data, you should use simple redirect and old() method:

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