Laravel passing array to my view via redirect

I am fairly new to laravel and I am trying to send some data to my view via redirect. This is what my code looks like:

In my controller:

$tags = Tag::all();
return Redirect::to('klant/profile/edit')->with('tags', $tags);

Now In my view I want to loop over all the tags in a select field. I do this like so:

<select name="filterTags" class="form-control" id="tagsDropdown">
   <option value="all">Alle projecten tonen</option>
   @foreach (Session::get('tags') as $tag)
       <option value="{{ $tag->name }}">{{ $tag->name }}</option>
   @endforeach
</select>

But I get the error:

"invalid argument supplied for foreach"

Can anyone help me out?

Any help is appreciated! Many thanks in advance!

To avoid this error when you don't have tags, try this in your view:

@if ($tags->count())
    @foreach ($tags as $tag)
        ...
    @endforeach
@else
    No tags
@endif

Not use redirects at this way. Don't use redirect to show a view, use it to return responses as errors, to return at index page, etc. I wrote an example to try to explain it:

Your index method must be like this:

public function index()
{
    // find your object
    $tags = Tag::all();

    // return the view with the object
    return View::make('tags.index')
        ->with('tags', $tags)
}

Your edit like must be like this:

public function edit($id)
{
    // find your object
    $tag = Tag::find($id);

    // if tag doesn't exist, redirect to index list
    if (!tag)
    {
        return Redirect::route('tags.index')
            ->with('message', "Tag doesn't exist")
    }

    // return the view with the object
    return View::make('tags.edit')
        ->with('tag', $tag)
}

public function index(){
    $tags = Tag::all();
    return view('welcome',compact('tags'))
}

Just make sure you've page called welcome.blade.php in your resources/views/ directory

If you wan't to use with() function you can use it also instead of compact.

return view('welcome')->with('tags','other_variables');
