Hello, i have a code like this

if ($validation->fails()) {
    foreach ($validation->messages()->all() as $message) {
        Flash::error($message);
    }
    return Redirect::back()->withInput();
}

and i am using this code almost every form validation. Instead of writing (or copy/paste) this code all the time i want to make a own class which can be called from everywhere of my project. I created my class folder under the app folder and added it to global.php and its working awesome.

but when i create a static function like this insede my Helper class

class Helper {

    public static function FlashValidationMessage($validation) {

        if ($validation->fails()) {
            foreach ($validation->messages()->all() as $message) {
                Flash::error($message);
            }
            return Redirect::back()->withInput();
        }
    }

}

and put this code inside the controller

return Helper::FlashValidationMessage($validation);

when validation fails everything works great, but when validation passes function returns nothing so i see only a white blank screen.

What are your suggestion to work this function properly? Maybe i need another clever approach.

Thanks for the replies.
