Laravel - Validator double - ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Question

Hi have more than 1 forms for a payment procedure

Here my payment steps

Step 1 - Form input datas;
Step 2 - Valide data of Step 1 ;
Step 3 - Form input other datas;
Step 4 - Valide data of Step 2 ;

In the second validation, if validator fail I return...

return redirect()->back()->withErrors($validator)->withInput();

The problem is that, if the second validation fail, it give me this error int he browser

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

I think is due because it redirect()->back() to previous Step 1 and so to the previous validator... and going in to loop.

Now I'have solved returning a View

return View('staff.cedola', $data)->withErrors($validator);

Is this the right way?

Answer 1

inside your middleware or construct() method, you need to check the URL is it the page or not. If it is the current page, you need to skip the redirect.

Below is the example, I hope you get the idea.

//if under verificated page no need check to avoid keep redirect
if (!request()->is('member/verified-profile'))
{
    //check Member Porfile Verification
    $this->beforeFilter('@checkUserProfileVerification');
    if (!request()->is('member/verified-mobile'))
    {
        //check Member Mobile Verification
        $this->beforeFilter('@checkUserMobileVerification');
    }
}
