How to return variable from Form Request to Controller

That doesn't make much sense. What are you actually trying to do?

I am saving a record on function persist() on Form Requests.

My goal is to pass the generated id so that I can redirect the page on edit mode for the user. For some reason, the Controller cannot receive the id from Form Requests.

App\Http\Requests\MyFormRequests.php:

function persist()

{

$business = Business::create([ 'business_name' => $this['business_name'], 'nationality' => $this['nationality'] ]);

return $myid = $business->id;

}

App\Http\Controllers\MyControllers.php:

public function store(MyFormRequests $request)

{

$request->persist();

return redirect()->route('register.edit.get', $request->persist()->$myid);

}

App\Http\Requests\MyFormRequests.php:

function persist()

{

    $business = Business::create([ 'business_name' => $this['business_name'], 'nationality' => $this['nationality'] ]);

return $business;

}

App\Http\Controllers\MyControllers.php:

public function store(MyFormRequests $request)

{

$business = $request->persist();

return redirect()->route('register.edit.get', $business);

}

or if you know how to redirect the form inside the App\Http\Requests\MyFormRequests.php to my register.edit.get route name with the myid value on it.

Handle the business logic in the controller and make your life easier.

Business logic really has no place in a form request.

it's what I do most times... I persist the form data in the form request

saving models does not belong in controllers either

thank you sir Snapey, im crying, love you dude!

No, I didn't suggest it did.
