Input::get('email') giving error

@laksh use dd($userdata) to check if the data is correct

@Sinnbeck what is this used for I can't able to login using this but got some response dd($userdata)

i can't able to post that response here

@laksh No need to post it. Just check that the email and password is what you expected. Lets say password is an empty sting, then that would be the problem.

@Sinnbeck no password is not empty i am getting password string but dont able to login

@laksh Now that you are writing your own login login, did you also write your own sign up logic? Is the password hashed in the database?

@Sinnbeck yeah password is hashed into database

@laksh Ok time to see if you can sign in at all. Open php artisan tinker in a commandline

Now test this. I assume you are using a dummy password while developing and not a password you actually use anywhere else. If that isnt the case, then change the password before testing (or recreate your user)

Auth::attempt(['email' => '[email protected]', 'pasword' => 'yourtestpassword']);

@Sinnbeck i am getting false result on trying this code

@laksh Then it seems that the user in the database cannot be logged on using those credentials. How are you creating users?

@Sinnbeck i am using code for registering users into database

public function process_signup(Request $request) {

    $request->validate([
        'name' => 'required',
        'password' => 'required|min:8',
        'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email'
    ]);
    
    $user = new User();
    $user->name = $request->input('name');
    $user->email = $request->input('email');
    $user->password = Crypt::encrypt($request->input('password'));
    $user->save();
    
    $request->session()->put('user', $request->input('name'));
    
    return redirect('/');

    
}

through this i am registering users

@laksh You should has the password, not encrypt it

Hash::make($request->input('password')),

@Sinnbeck i don't know why but my register form stops working

@laksh DId you import Hash?

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;

@Sinnbeck yes

@laksh Ok. Explain "stops working". Error?

@Sinnbeck it doesn't giving an error infact my form doesn't submitted

@laksh Ok use dd() to see how far it gets in the code. Im having a hard time helping if I dont know what happens.

@Sinnbeck

public function show_signup_form(){ return view('maincontent.register'); }

public function process_signup(Request $request)
{
    
    $request->validate([
        'name' => 'required',
        'password' => 'required',
        'email' => 'required'
    ]);
    
    $user = new User();
    $user->name = $request->input('name');
    $user->email = $request->input('email');
    $user->password = Hash::make($request->input('password'));
    $user->save();
    
    $request->session()->put('user', $request->input('name'));
    
    return redirect('/');

    
}

okk see i got two function one is for showing form and second is for processing or saving data into database but my second function is not calling

@laksh Do you hit the process_signup at all? Add dd('hit'); at the start of the method and submit the form.

@Sinnbeck no it doesn't submitted at all by using dd('hit') also

@laksh Show the form and the route.

@Sinnbeck

Route::namespace('App\Http\Controllers\Auth')->group(function (){

    Route::get('/login','LoginController@show_login_form')->name('login');
    Route::post('/login','LoginController@process_login')->name('login');
    Route::get('/register','LoginController@show_signup_form')->name('register');
    Route::post('/register','LoginController@process_signup')->name('register');
    Route::post('/logout','LoginController@logout')->name('logout');
});

@laksh You have 2 routes with the same name. That isn't allowed. (you have this twice)

An example

    Route::get('/login','LoginController@show_login_form')->name('login');
    Route::post('/login','LoginController@process_login')->name('login.post');
    Route::get('/register','LoginController@show_signup_form')->name('register');
    Route::post('/register','LoginController@process_signup')->name('register.post');
    Route::post('/logout','LoginController@logout')->name('logout');

@Sinnbeck it still doesn't working if i changed their name can you suggest any other option thanks in advance

@laksh yeah I suggest learning the basics of laravel before trying to write your own auth. Currently you are struggling with routing and forms which are basic laravel

Maybe start with "laravel 8 from scratch". It's free

Once you get your route and form to work, this should work

You can also create a seperate thread where we can help you with your routing. As I understand, the problem is that you never hit the method on the controller, so it's not really related to your original question

@laksh Note that there is a typo in @sinnbeck tinker line. Should be password

@Sinnbeck but before i changed encryption to hashing it was working can you suggest whats the reason behind that?

@Snapey well spotted :)

@Snapey sorry i can't understand what you mean to say?

@Sinnbeck i couldn't understand

@laksh well if you are adding dd() at the top of the method then it shouldn't matter. Maybe share how the file looks now

@Sinnbeck Here is the code

public function process_signup(Request $request) { dd('hit');

    $request->validate([
        'name' => 'required',
        'password' => 'required',
        'email' => 'required'
    ]);
    
    $user = new User();
    $user->name = $request->input('name');
    $user->email = $request->input('email');
    $user->password = Hash::make($request->input('password'));
    $user->save();
    
    $request->session()->put('user', $request->input('name'));
    
    return redirect('/');

    
}

@laksh looks fine. Now find out what url and method your form for creating users use

@Sinnbeck the function which i made for creating the user is not calling so what can i do now ?

@laksh check the browser html as I just suggested. Visit the register page. Open f12 and elements tab. Check your form action and method

@Sinnbeck yeah and it looks fine i don't know what's the problem behind its not working?

@laksh could you share it? I cannot really help in any way if I don't know your code

@Sinnbeck my registration form is working now it starts saving data into database

@laksh ok awesome! Is it working then?

@Sinnbeck yeah its working now login and then redirecting to the dashboard Thankyou.

@laksh great. Please mark best answer to set the thread as solved

@laksh Yeah I was mistaken an have asked a relevant question instead :)
