Laravel 5.1 authentication not working

Question

I'm new to Laravel 5.1 and getting my head around it I started to build a blog with it. But there comes a problem. My users cannot login after registration.

One thing is that when they register they are automatically signed in but after that (after they have logged out) they can't login again.

The error message appearing is the email field is required. No matter what you put into the email field it still return email field is required.

This is the login form, I'm using the Illuminate/Html package

@extends('main')

@section('title')

Login 

@stop

@section('content')

<div class="row">
<h1>Please Login</h1>

<hr>
</div>

{!! Form::open() !!}
<div class="row">
    <div class="large-6 columns">
        {!! Form::label('email', 'Username:') !!}
        {!! Form::text('email', null, [ 'placeholder' => 'Enter your email']) !!}
    </div>
</div>

<div class="row">
    <div class="large-6 columns">
        {!! Form::label('password', 'Password:') !!}
        {!! Form::password('password', null, [ 'placeholder' => 'Enter Password']) !!}
    </div>
</div>

<div class="row">
    <div class="large-6 columns">
        {!! Form::checkbox('remember') !!}
        {!! Form::label('remember', 'Remembe Me') !!}
    </div>
</div>

<div class="row">
    <div class="large-6 columns">
        {!! Form::submit('Login', [ 'class' => 'expand radius button']) !!}
    </div>
</div>

@if($errors->any())
<div class="row">
    <div class="large-6 columns">
        <ul class="errors">

            @foreach($errors->all() as $error)
                <li>{{ $error }}</li>
            @endforeach
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>
@endif
{!! Form::close() !!}

 @stop

Thanks for your time.

If u are using authentication change

Form::open() 

to

 {{Form::open(array('url' => 'auth/login', 'method' => 'post'))}}
