Earlier today I had the exact same problem with Auth::attempt always retuning false. I realized that Auth checks for a hashed password, so by doing so I was able to get it to return true, but now it always does. Even if I type asdadfasdfaf in my form, the if statement loads the page. Any suggestions?
Controller:
class userController extends \BaseController
{
public function login()
{
$user = array(
'username' => Input::get('username'),
'password' => Input::get('password')
);
if(Auth::attempt($user))
{
return Redirect::route('home');
}
else
{
return View::make('login');
}
}
}
Form
{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'home' )) }}
{{ Form::label('username', 'Username: ') }}
{{ Form::text('username') }}
</br>
{{ Form::label('password', 'Password: ') }}
{{ Form::password('password') }}
</br>
{{ Form::submit() }}
{{ Form::close() }}
The Routes file:
Route::post('home', 'userController@login');
No matter what I enter it always directs me to my "home" page?
The action url should be login
{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'login' )) }}
^^^^ as you used Auth::attempt to this URL
{{ Form::label('username', 'Username: ') }}
{{ Form::text('username') }}
</br>
{{ Form::label('password', 'Password: ') }}
{{ Form::password('password') }}
</br>
{{ Form::submit() }}
{{ Form::close() }}
