Laravel: Auth::user()->id trying to get a property of a non-object
authentication, laravel, laravel-4, php
Solution
If you are using `Sentry` check the logged in user with `Sentry::getUser()->id`. The error you get is that the `Auth::user()` returns NULL and it tries to get id from NULL hence the error `trying to get a property from a non-object`.
Problem
I'm getting the following error "trying to get a property of a non-object" when I submit a form to add a user, the error is apparently on the first line: Auth::user()->id of the following: ``` $id = Auth::user()->id; $currentuser = User::find($id); $usergroup = $currentuser->user_group; $group = Sentry::getGroupProvider()->findById($usergroup); $generatedPassword = $this->_generatePassword(8,8); $user = Sentry::register(array('email' => $input['email'], 'password' => $generatedPassword, 'user_group' => $usergroup)); $user->addGroup($group); ``` Any ideas? I've searched for a while and everything I see says this should work fine. My user is logged in using the Sentry 2 authentication bundle.
