Laravel 5 input old is empty

laravel, laravel-5, php

Solution

Your problem looks like you are not actually submitting the username in the first place:

<form role="form" method="POST" action="{{route('signUpPost')}}"> 
        <input type="text" class="form-control" name="username" value="{{ old('username') }}">
</form>

There is no 'submit' button inside the form. If you submit outside the form - then the `username` will not be included.

Add the submit button inside your form - then try again

<form role="form" method="POST" action="{{route('signUpPost')}}"> 
        <input type="text" class="form-control" name="username" value="{{ old('username') }}">
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Edit - also your controller is wrong. It should be this:

 return redirect()->route('signUp')->withInput();

Problem

My routes is here ``` Route::get('sign-up', ['as' => 'signUp', 'uses' => 'UserController@signUpGet']); Route::post('sign-up', ['as' => 'signUpPost', 'uses' => 'UserController@signUpPost']); ``` Controller ``` return redirect('signUp')->withInput(); ``` And View ``` <form role="form" method="POST" action="{{route('signUpPost')}}"> <input type="text" class="form-control" name="username" value="{{ old('username') }}"> </form> ``` The {{old()}} function return empty value. EDIT I took ``` NotFoundHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 145: ```
