• Since you are within a namespace, you must use '\Validator' to reference the Validator component in the root namespace

• In L5, $this->validate() from within a controller is considered a better practice

this

return Redirect::route('getCreate')->withErrors($validate)->withInput();

should be

..................->withErrors($validator).........

It didn'work for me... or i'm doing it wrong!

i tried to put the use on top of the class but still the same error happen. I use this validation method because this is the one in the documentation and trying to learn the framework... if you know a good tutorial that show how to use with the $this-­­­­>validate() i will be happy to check it :)

here is the code with the using! I replaced the $validate with $validator but it was not the error in the call stack.

but still i have my error :( What is wrong with it !! :(

if you guys can help please!

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Validation;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function getCreate()
    {
        return view('user.register');
    }

    public function postCreate()
    {
        $validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), array(
            'username' => 'required|unique:users|min:4',
            'pass1' => 'required|min:6',
            'pass2' => 'required|same:pass1',
        ));

        if ($validator->fails())
        {
            return Redirect::route('getCreate')->withErrors($validator)->withInput();
        }
        else
        {
            $user = User::Create(array(
                'username' => Input::get('username'),
                'password' => Hash::make(Input::get('password'))
            ));

            if ($user)
            {
                return Redirect::route('home')->with('success', 'You registered successfully. You can now login.');
            }
            else
            {
                return Redirect::route('home')->with('fail', 'An error occured while creating the user. Please try again.');
            }
        }
    }

}

use Illuminate\Validation\Validator;

trying this when i come back to home!

I hope that is the right answer! :D

i was reading by the time about the Request but didnt try it yet !

I would recommend that you use L5's built-in form requests and get it instantly validated even before it's passed to your controller! http://mattstauffer.co/blog/laravel-5.0-form-requests
