CSRF Token is empty - not answered

What does your view look like?

Is there appearing any error like "TokenMismatchException"? Make sure the csrf field is somewhere between form tags. Or, it could be better if you share more

My view (in part) looks like this:

                    <form method="post" action="{{ url('/login') }}">
                        <?php echo Form::token(); ?>
                        <input type="text" name="email" placeholder="email"/>
                        <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="password"/>
                        <input type="submit" value="Go"/>
                    </form>

It is showing the tag like this

<input type="hidden" name="_token">

but has no value. There is also a meta tag with no value using this:

        <meta name="csrf_token" content="{!! csrf_token() !!}">

but the field is empty

You need to actually put the token in your view. Try this:

                    <form method="post" action="{{ url('/login') }}">
                        {{ csrf_field() }
                        <input type="text" name="email" placeholder="email"/>
                        <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="password"/>
                        <input type="submit" value="Go"/>
                    </form>

Like I said in your previous thread or what @zachleigh said.

You can either use

csrf_field()

OR:

<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">

csrf_field() will generate the whole hidden input.

You have to put csrf field between form tags

<form>
...
{{ csrf_field() }}
...
</form>

Check this link for more information https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/routing#csrf-protection

I still end up with this:

<input type="hidden" value="" name="_token">

There is no token being generated/displayed (empty value)

Also you can remove all Authentication and Registration routes since you have Route::auth() in place

Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
    
    Route::auth();

    Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');
});

I clicked the wrong button. This is not yet answered. The token field is showing up as empty using any method above. I have token field being included in two forms, but in both forms the value of the field is empty. I've tried using the methods already shown.

For people still facing this issue, ultimately it's because the 'web' middleware isn't in use for the route you're viewing/using.

I had similar issue, and I found out what went wrong with mine. I had

session()->flush();

at the beginning of my function in controller while trying to forget a session key.
