Laravel 5 - After login redirect back to previous page

Question

I have a page with a some content on it and a comments section. Comments can only be left by users who are signed in so I have added a login form to the page for users to sign in with (this only shows if they are not already logged in).

The problem I have is that when the user signs in they get redirected back to the home page and not the page they were previously on.

I have not changed the login method from the out of the box set-up.

Can anyone suggest a simple way to set the redirect url. My thoughts are that it would be good to be able to set it in the form.

Even though the answer here alludes to Laravel 4, I'm sure it'll still work in 5. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15389833/laravel-redirect-back-to-original-destination-after-login — Danny Kopping, Apr 29 '15 at 21:22
Hmm Laravel 4 and 3 did not roll with the authenticatable contracts that laravel 5 does, I don't think those will be relevant. — Matthew Brown, Apr 29 '15 at 21:26

Solution for laravel 5.3:

In loginController overwrite the showLoginForm() function as this one:

public function showLoginForm()
{
    if(!session()->has('url.intended'))
    {
        session(['url.intended' => url()->previous()]);
    }
    return view('auth.login');    
}

It will set the "url.intended" session variable, that is the one that laravel uses to look for the page which you want to be redirected after the login, with the previous url.

It also checks if the variable has been set, in order to avoid the variable to be set with the login url if the user submit the form with an error.

Not sure why, but this doesn't seem to work for Safari – Courtney White Sep 02 '19 at 07:14 — Courtney White, Sep 02 '19 at 07:14

Please use redirect()->intended() instead in Laravel 5.1

You can also see more about it here: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/authentication

This worked for me by also setting `url.intended` in the session where I redirected to login: Session::put('url.intended', \URL::full()); – antoineMoPa Dec 14 '17 at 14:41

Better answer here! I used this code : return redirect()->intended(route('user.dashboard')); and it works well. – CDO Oct 19 '18 at 08:21
But before that, Laravel shows a 403 error page without any action. Instead, how to redirect automatically to the login page, and then to the intended page?? – Pathros Aug 23 '20 at 04:25

For Laravel 5.3

inside App/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController add this line to the __construct() function

$this->redirectTo = url()->previous();

So the full code will be

public function __construct()
{
    $this->redirectTo = url()->previous();
    $this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'logout']);
}

It works like a charm for me i'm using laravel 5.3.30

Thank for the answer, which works nicely -- but in order for this to happen, it seems you have to 'include' the login form in the page you want to be redirected back to. Logging in by going to `your.app/login` will only redirect you back to the `'/home'` page. – hktang Jun 02 '17 at 07:06

This does not work after authentication error on login. It redirects to login form after successful login. – James Mar 14 '18 at 17:12

The Laravel 5.6, When user insert wrong credentials then login page will reload and session(['link' => url()->previous()]); will take login URL in link variable. So the user will redirect to a login page again or redirect to /home if login success. So to avoid these below code working for me! After that no matter how much time user insert wrong credentials he will redirect after login to exactly where he was before login page.

Update or overwrite public function showLoginForm() in LoginController.

public function showLoginForm()
{
    if (session('link')) {
        $myPath     = session('link');
        $loginPath  = url('/login');
        $previous   = url()->previous();

        if ($previous = $loginPath) {
            session(['link' => $myPath]);
        }
        else{
            session(['link' => $previous]);
        }
    }
    else{
         session(['link' => url()->previous()]);
    }

    return view('auth.login');
}

Also, Update or Overwrite protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user) in LoginController.

protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
{     
    return redirect(session('link'));      
}

Worked for me. Had to add class `use Illuminate\Http\Request;` in LoginController.php — daugaard47, Apr 08 '19 at 15:03

If you want to redirect always to /home except for those pages with comments, then you should overwrite your redirectTo method in your LoginController:

public function redirectTo()
{
     return session('url.intended') ?? $this->redirectTo;
}

On all pages where you want to remain on the site, you should store the url for one request in the session:

public function show(Category $category, Project $project){
   // ...

   session()->flash('url.intended' , '/' . request()->path());
}

This is the simplest and the fastest way to do it. – Dexter Bengil Mar 12 '20 at 12:11 — Dexter Bengil, Mar 12 '20 at 12:11

Look into laravel cheat sheet

and use:

URL::previous();

to go to the previous page.

Redirect to login with the current's page url as a query string:

<a href="{{ url('login?redirect_to=' . urlencode(request()->url())) }}">login</a>

In your LoginController check if exists and save the query string in session then redirect to the url after login

public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        if ( \request()->get( 'redirect_to' ) ) {
            session()->put( 'redirect.url', \request()->get( 'redirect_to' ) );
        }
        $this->middleware( 'guest' )->except( 'logout' );
}

protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user) {
        if(session()->has('redirect.url') {
             return redirect( session()->get( 'redirect.url' ) );
        }
}

You don't need to remove it. The function redirectTo() takes precedence over variable $redirectTo, so might equally be a fall back especially when the first page user access is the login page – DAVID AJAYI Mar 27 '20 at 11:28

in your RedirectIfAuthenticated.php change this code

public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
    {
        if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
            return redirect()->intended('/contactus');
        }

        return $next($request);
    }

please notice to :

Inside your template file you can just use:

{{ url()->previous() }}

To redirect from the controller you should use

return redirect()->back();

or Just

return back();

You can use redirect back with Laravel 5:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Redirect;   
class SomeController extends Controller { 
    public function some_method() {
       return Redirect::back()
    }
}
