Limit the activated image in laravel - php

Question

I am doing the CMS.. How should I able to limit the activated images with message? For example I would like to limit 5 activated image and I also would like to put some message if he exceed to the limit like "Only 5 activated images only!"
I already tried this but the message wont display(I also checked the $result).. Is there something wrong in my codes? What is it?

Answer 1

You should return redirect():
return redirect()->back()->with('failed', 'Only 5 images can be activated!');
