If you're using Blade templates, echo it using the {{ $err }} syntax. Otherwise <?php echo $err; ?>

Hi,

Validation & error messages is very well documented: http://laravel.com/docs/validation

You can show errors in your views created by the validation class the following way:

{{ $errors->first('field_name') }}

Where field_name is the name of the input.

When login, you can do the following:

 public function store()
 {
   $errors = new MessageBag; // initiate MessageBag

   $credentials = [
     'email'     => Input::get('email'),
     'password'  => Input::get('password')    
   ];

   if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) // use the inbuilt Auth::attempt method to log in the user ( if the credentials are wrong, this will fail )
     return Redirect::to('account')->with('alert-success', 'You are now logged in.'); // if the credentials were correct, Auth::attempt will log in the user automatically and you can redirect the user to the intended page. Moreover, using the ->with() method, you can store a message in a session, which can be accessed on the next page. (se explanation under)

   $errors = new MessageBag(['password' => ['Email and/or password invalid.']]); // if Auth::attempt fails (wrong credentials) create a new message bag instance.

   return Redirect::back()->withErrors($errors)->withInput(Input::except('password')); // redirect back to the login page, using ->withErrors($errors) you send the error created above
 }

Now in your login view, you can show the error message by doing:

@if ($error = $errors->first('password'))
 <div class="alert alert-danger">
   {{ $error }}
 </div>
@endif

http://laravel.com/docs/security#authenticating-users

And remember to include the MessageBag class in your controller, basically put this in top of your controller, e.g:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\MessageBag;

class SessionsController extends \BaseController 
{
}

To access the message created by the ->with() method, do:

In your controller:

return Redirect::to('account')->with('alert-success', 'You are now logged in.');

In your view:

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

Hope this helps.

Actually, i had some problems with auth attempt, so i just used auth login

$auth = User::where('Name', '=', Input::get('username'))->where('Password', '=', Hash::make(Input::get('password')))->first(); if($auth){ if(Input::get('rememberme')) { Auth::login($auth, true); } else { Auth::login($auth); } return Redirect::intended('home'); } else { View::make('login')->with('err', 'There was a problem signing in'); } }

That's the wrong way to do it.

What does your User model looks like?
