Laravel 5 - Implement Flash Messages with example not working

I'm following this post here http://itsolutionstuff.com/post/laravel-5-implement-flash-messages-with-exampleexample.html, and in Step 3: use flash messages with redirect I've changed it so it calls the following method in my HomeController.php file:

public function index(Request $request) {
        return view("home")->with("info", "Please note that although Transport for South Africa is updated regularly, the site is still in BETA, and I'm hoping to have it complete by the 1st January 2018.");
}
Solution

  • As you can see in examples, you have to perform redirect to use flash messages (eg. with back() or redirect() helpers).

    They are visible on the next request, not current one.
