Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

Jeffery,

Have you tied to dump $messages with var_dump to see if the results are really what you think are being passed? You are not going to see any results if there are more than one object being passes and the strict typing may be causing you an issue as well.

I haven't looked at the package you are using specifically, but have had pretty good luck with laracasts/flash:

There is also a good lesson on Laracasts on implementing it within Laravel.

I'm thinking what I"m wanting is to use a messages notification system like growl or pnotify because I want to be able to set configurations to it like set times for how long they show up to the user and define locations of where I want them to display.

I think you could get that functionality with the following jQuery package:

Yes however how can I do it so that when I have the list of users listed in a HTML table and a link is pressed that goes to the delete function that deletes the user and then goes back to the index function listing the users and shows the notification that the user was deleted successfully.
