i'm coding an application with laravel and since i'm still a beginner i got stuck on the login part , i didn't use the authentication library for some specefic details but now when i want to store the connected user identity values i don't know how to do it , i tried to use session variables but i always get null on them , take this as an example :
public function authenticate(Request $request)
{
//$credentials = $request->only('Email', 'password');
$email = Str::lower($request->input('Email'));
$password = $request->input('password');
$Ftime = $request->input('Ftime');
$currentDateTime = Carbon::now();
$user = User::where('Email', $email)->first();
if ($currentDateTime->isAfter($Ftime)) {
$user->update(['Password' => Str::random(60)]);
$request->session->put(['Cuser'=>$user]);
return redirect('login')->with('user',$user);
}
if ($user) {
echo "that's it 1";
if($user->Password == $password){
// Authentication successful
echo "that's it 2";
return redirect('/home')->with('user',Auth::user());
}
else{
echo "that's it 3";
return view('errors/pass',['pass'=>$password]);
}
} else {
// Authentication failed
echo "that's it 4";
return view('errors/email', ['error' => $email]);
}
}
what i want is when the user pass the password the $Cuser variable needs to be created between different routes and can be retrieved in different views
