Laravel Passing Variable from a controller to another Controller

Question

I'm trying to pass a variable from a controller to another controller I tried using

Redirect::to('dashboard/'.$ssid.'/')->with(compact('wname'))

but does not work any idea how can I achieve this?

here is my code

Route

Route::get('dashboard/{ssid}/', 'HomeController@showDash');

LoginController

public function post_index()
  {

  if(Auth::attempt($credentials)){
    $users = User::where('username','=',$email)->get();
      foreach ($users as $value):
        $activated = $value['a_status'];
        $wname = $value['wholename'];

      endforeach;

      if($activated == 1):
          $red= Redirect::to('dashboard/'.$ssid.'/')->with(compact('wholename')); 
      else:
          $red= View::make('login');
      endif;
      return $red;
}

 }

HomeController

public function showDash($ssid,$wholename)
{
 foreach ($wholename as $userVal):
        $fn = $userVal['firstname'];
        $ln = $userVal['lastname'];
     endforeach;
return View::make('dashboard')->with(compact('fn'));

}

The error I'm having is that Missing argument 2 for HomeController::showDash() as per laravel's debugger..

Updated answer based on the comments:

public function post_index()
{

    if(Auth::attempt($credentials)){
    $users = User::where('username','=',$email)->get();
    foreach ($users as $value){
        $activated = $value['a_status'];
        $wname = $value['wholename'];
    }
    if($activated == 1) {
        Redirect::to('dashboard/'.$ssid.'/')->with(['wholename' => $wholename]); 
    }

    return View::make('login');
}


public function showDash($ssid)
{
    $wholename = (Session::has('wholename')) ? Session::get('wholename') : [];
    foreach ($wholename as $userVal) {
        $fn = $userVal['firstname'];
        $ln = $userVal['lastname'];
    }
    return View::make('dashboard')->with(compact('fn'));
}

Everything else can stay as is.

Update: fixed erroneous space in 'whole name' (autocorrect did that, sorry).

hmm but the $wholename would then be visible on the addressbar.. I'm trying to hide it thats why I'm tried using with()..

Ah, I see. In that case you need to pull the variable from the session, it won't be passed in the method call. So: $wholename = (Session::has('whole name')) ? Session::get('wholename') : []; right above the foreach should do it, and remove the $wholename parameter from the method signature.

sorry I'm new to laravel how do I use session in laravel?

mike.bronner Over a year ago

using ->with(...) adds it to the session. I will update my answer above.

I see so what I did was actually a session... but that didnt work.. Am I doing something wrong here?
