Using Request and Response in Laravel

Here is my Form 

{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'register', 'class' => 'form-signin')) }}

// form username , password .. fields here
{{ Form::close() }}

And the route is 

Route::post('register', 'RegisterController@registeruser');

And the Controller is 

public function registeruser()
    {

    //validation

  return Redirect::to('/')->withErrors($validator); // main

    }

As, i am being redirected i won't be having any fields that is filled in the form.

I know that i should use request and response for this.

I tried with below response, even this is a horrible try.

return Response::view('home')->header('utf-8', $messages);

But while doing above even the page reloads and the values filled in the form disappears. How can i through the errors without the values disappears ?

Is there a way to have filled the fields in the form as entered ?

Let's suppose you have a validation like this:

$validation = Validator::make($input, $rules);

Then you need to do that:

if( $validation->fails() )
{
    return Redirect::back()->withInput()->withErrors($validator->messages());
}

note the Redirect::back() that allows you to get back to your form and fill it automatically with user input

You can use Input::flash()

public function registeruser()
{
    //validation
    Input::flash();

    return Redirect::to('/')->withErrors($validator); // main
}

Then in the controller method that handles the redirect you can access the old input with Input::old(). Using Input::all() will only return data for the current request.

You can also use the ->withInput() chained method on your return line.

Read more about it here http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/requests

You need to use ->withInput()

return Redirect::to('/')->withInput()->withErrors($validator); // main
