Hi dev,

I'll demonstrate in this article how to direct people from one website to another using the controller technique. In controllers, we often utilise the helper function redirect for user redirection ().

In Laravel 5, Laravel 6, Laravel 7, Laravel 8, and Laravel 9, we can easily use the redirect() helper. redirection supplied by Laravel version (). In Laravel, there are numerous ways to perform URL redirection. I'm going to show you how to redirect a URL with parameters step-by-step in this post.

you can simply redirect given URL, bellow example i simple redirect "mywebtuts/tags" URL.

Route::get('mywebtuts/tags', 'HomeController@tags');	

public function home()
{
    return redirect('mywebtuts/tags');
}	

In this example, we can redirect back to our previous page URL, so you can do it both way:

public function home()
{
    return back();
}
OR
public function home2()
{
    return redirect()->back();
}	

If you declare route with name and you want to redirect route from controller method then you can simply do it.

Route::get('mywebtuts/tags', array('as'=> 'mywebtuts.tags', 'uses' => 'HomeController@tags'));	

public function home()
{
    return redirect()->route('mywebtuts.tags');
}	

If you declare route with name and also parameters and you want to redirect route from controller method then you can do it by following example.

Route::get('mywebtuts/tag/{id}', array('as'=> 'mywebtuts.tag', 'uses' => 'HomeController@tags'));	

public function home()
{
    return redirect()->route('mywebtuts.tag',['id'=>17]);
}	

we can also redirect controller method using action of redirect() helper as you can see bellow example:

public function home()
{
    return redirect()->action('App\Http\Controllers\HomeController@home');
}	

we can also redirect controller method using action with parameters of redirect() helper as you can see bellow example:

public function home()
{
    return redirect()->action('App\Http\Controllers\HomeController@home',['id'=>17]);
}	

we can also pass flashed session message while redirect with routes or url in controller method as you can see bellow example.

public function home()
{
    return redirect('home')->with('message', 'Welcome to mywebtuts Tutorials!');
}	

You can simply redirect above ways to URL from controller method.

Maybe it can help you....
