User Authentication in laravel
laravel, php
Solution
As Dayle Rees said on its blog :
Please remember not to apply the auth filter to your login URI, you will experience a terrible loop!

Problem
I have a question about the built in user authentication functionality in laravel. I got the authentication part to work but it doesn't seem like a user is stored in the session. ``` Route::get('login', function(){ $username = 'stardriver'; $password = '1234'; $creds = array('username' => $username, 'password' => $password); if(Auth::attempt($creds)){ //I assume that its already logged in when it goes here return Auth::guest(); //but why does this return 1? }else{ return 'nope wrong creds'; //if I change the username or password declared above, it goes here } }); ``` Here's my admin page. I get an infinite loop when I redirect to this page after the user has successfully authenticated. ``` Route::get('admin', array('before' => 'auth', 'do' => function(){ return "you are logged in! " . HTML::link('logout', 'logout dude'); })); ``` What do you think is wrong here?
