I have created a test user on my laravel app. The details are
user: [email protected] pass: 123456
When I go through the registration process everything works as expected and an entry is made into the users table of the database
Once this is finished I redirect the user to the dashboard.
public function postCreate(){
//Rules
$rules = array(
'fname'=>'required|alpha|min:2',
'lname'=>'required|alpha|min:2',
'email'=>'required|email|unique:users',
'password'=>'required|alpha_num|between:6,12|confirmed',
'password_confirmation'=>'required|alpha_num|between:6,12'
);
$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);
if($validator->passes()){
//Save in DB - Success
$user = new User;
$user->fname = Input::get('fname'); //Get the details of form
$user->lname = Input::get('lname');
$user->email = Input::get('email');
$user->password = Hash::make(Input::get('password'));//Encrypt the password
$user->save();
return Redirect::to('/books')->with('Thank you for Registering!');
}else{
//Display error - Failed
return Redirect::to('/')->with('message', 'The Following Errors occurred')->withErrors($validator)->withInput();
}
}
I then navigate back to the landing page and attempt to log in using the credentials above and I keep getting told that Auth::attempt() is failing hence my user cannot log into the application.
public function login(){
if(Auth::attempt(array('email'=>Input::get('email'), 'password'=>Input::get('password')))){
//Login Success
echo "Success"; die();
return Redirect::to('/books');
}else{
//Login failed
echo "Fail"; die();
return Redirect::to('/')->with('message', 'Your username/password combination was incorrect')->withInput();
}
}
Does anyone know why this is happening? This is the Schema for my users table:
Schema::create('users', function($table){
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('type')->unsigned();
$table->string('fname', 255);
$table->string('lname', 255);
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->string('password', 60);
$table->string('school', 255);
$table->string('address_1', 255);
$table->string('address_2', 255);
$table->string('address_3', 255);
$table->string('address_4', 255);
$table->string('remember_token', 100);
$table->timestamps();
});
Any help is much appreciated.

Can you run this function below - and tell me where the error occurs? It will diagnose the problem:
public function testLogin()
{
$user = new User;
$user->fname = 'joe';
$user->lname = 'joe';
$user->email = '[email protected]';
$user->password = Hash::make('123456');
if ( ! ($user->save()))
{
dd('user is not being saved to database properly - this is the problem');
}
if ( ! (Hash::check('123456', Hash::make('123456'))))
{
dd('hashing of password is not working correctly - this is the problem');
}
if ( ! (Auth::attempt(array('email' => '[email protected]', 'password' => '123456'))))
{
dd('storage of user password is not working correctly - this is the problem');
}
else
{
dd('everything is working when the correct data is supplied - so the problem is related to your forms and the data being passed to the function');
}
}
Edit: one thought - are you sure the user is being correctly saved in the database? Have you tried to 'empty/delete' your database and try your code again? In your current code, it will fail if you keep registering with [email protected] - because it is unique. But you dont catch the error anywhere. So empty the database and try again...
Edit 2: I found another question you posted with the same problem - and in there you mentioned that the following code is your user model?
use Illuminate\Auth\UserTrait;
use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableTrait;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;
class User extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface {
use UserTrait, RemindableTrait;
/**
* The database table used by the model.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $table = 'users';
/**
* The attributes excluded from the model's JSON form.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = array('password');
public function getAuthIdentifier() {
}
public function getAuthPassword() {
}
public function getRememberToken() {
}
public function getRememberTokenName() {
}
public function getReminderEmail() {
}
public function setRememberToken($value) {
}
}
Is that EXACTLY your current user model? Because if so - it is wrong - none of those functions should be blank.
This is what a CORRECT user model should look like for Laravel 4.2
use Illuminate\Auth\UserTrait;
use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableTrait;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;
class User extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface {
use UserTrait, RemindableTrait;
/**
* The database table used by the model.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $table = 'users';
/**
* The attributes excluded from the model's JSON form.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = array('password', 'remember_token');
}
