What do you mean?
Can you please clearify?

Actually, I am trying to get the default Laravel session die path URL but I can't find the default Laravel session die path URL. Is there anyone who can help me to find out the default Laravel session die URL path?
What do you mean?
Can you please clearify?
@Tray2 I meant that in Laravel project after passing a few duration Laravel projects automatically become session die if the user does not any work after session dies Laravel projects show return redirect to the login page. I want to just keep another URL instead of using the login URL that's it.
@Solaiman Hossain In you .env file there is a parameter called SESSION_LIFETIME that tells how long a session can be inactive.
@Solaiman Hossain you set it in this file https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/8.x/app/Http/Middleware/Authenticate.php
It's in your own app/Http/Middleware folder
@Tray2 No, I actually want to get the URL after the session expired redirect to ('/') login page, where can I find the URL path?
@Solaiman Hossain In your routes file.
@Solaiman Hossain if my answer wasn't what you were after, please explain a bit more
@Sinnbeck I applied inside protected function redirectTo($request) but I am getting an error
protected function redirectTo($request)
{
if (! $request->expectsJson()) {
// return route('login');
return redirect('url_name');
}
}
After applying the above code getting an error message ERROR Message is: Header may not contain more than a single header, new line detected
Header may not contain more than a single header, new line detected //Error message
C:\xampp\htdocs\wms-with-master-app\vendor\symfony\http-foundation\Response.php
{
// headers have already been sent by the developer
if (headers_sent()) {
return $this;
}
// headers
foreach ($this->headers->allPreserveCaseWithoutCookies() as $name => $values) {
$replace = 0 === strcasecmp($name, 'Content-Type');
foreach ($values as $value) {
header($name.': '.$value, $replace, $this->statusCode); // laravel error bold line
}
}
// cookies
foreach ($this->headers->getCookies() as $cookie) {
header('Set-Cookie: '.$cookie, false, $this->statusCode);
}
// status
header(sprintf('HTTP/%s %s %s', $this->version, $this->statusCode, $this->statusText), true, $this->statusCode);
return $this;
}
When your session expires, you are now a GUEST
When a GUEST tries to access a route that is protected by auth middleware, then they are redirected to the login route which is in the Authenticate middleware as @sinnbeck already linked above
@Snapey If I use : return redirect('url_name'); instead of return route('login'); I am getting an error Error is: Header may not contain more than a single header, new line detected
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authenticate as Middleware;
class Authenticate extends Middleware
{
/**
* Get the path the user should be redirected to when they are not authenticated.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return string|null
*/
protected function redirectTo($request)
{
if (! $request->expectsJson()) {
//return route('login');
return redirect('url_name');
}
}
}
After applying this above code I am getting this error message:
Header may not contain more than a single header, new line detected //Error message
C:\xampp\htdocs\wms-with-master-app\vendor\symfony\http-foundation\Response.php
{
// headers have already been sent by the developer
if (headers_sent()) {
return $this;
}
// headers
foreach ($this->headers->allPreserveCaseWithoutCookies() as $name => $values) {
$replace = 0 === strcasecmp($name, 'Content-Type');
foreach ($values as $value) {
header($name.': '.$value, $replace, $this->statusCode); // laravel error bold line
}
}
// cookies
foreach ($this->headers->getCookies() as $cookie) {
header('Set-Cookie: '.$cookie, false, $this->statusCode);
}
// status
header(sprintf('HTTP/%s %s %s', $this->version, $this->statusCode, $this->statusText), true, $this->statusCode);
return $this;
}
@Solaiman Hossain show the route you are redirecting to then
@Sinnbeck, Actually I want to redirect another website url like :
return redirect('https://laracasts.com/');
Is it possible?
you can hit URL for example www.abc.com/logout
In case if you want to change redirection or something and you have Laravel basic setup you can find Laravel logout function in LoginController.php File Something like this
public function logout(Request $request)
public function logout(Request $request)
{
$user = auth()->user();
activity($user->name)
->performedOn($user)
->causedBy($user)
->log('LoggedOut');
$this->guard()->logout();
$request->session()->invalidate();
return redirect('/');
}
