Middleware auth not working with web Laravel 5.2 - php

Question

Hi I am having some problem with authentication in laravel. I have to use two middleware 1. is web and 2. auth . I am using web middleware so that I can use session to show flash messages. and want to use auth middleware to do authentication of users/admin. but I am facing some problems.
below is my function to check authorization and to redirect to their respective routes
public function postLoginForm(){
$email=Input::get('email');
$password=Input::get('password');
$data=[
'email'=>$email,
'password'=>$password
];
$rules=[
'email'=>'required',
'password'=>'required'
];
$validator=Validator::make($data,$rules);
if($validator->fails()){
Session::flash('fail', 'Oops Something went wrong!!');
return redirect()->back()->withErrors($validator);
}
else{
if(Auth::attempt($data)){
$checkStatus=User::select('*')->where('email',$email)->first();
Session::put('email',$checkStatus->email);
Session::put('user_type',$checkStatus->user_type);
if($checkStatus['user_type']=='4'){
if($checkStatus['status']=='0'){
Session::flash('wait', 'Registration is not approved!!');
return "student";
return redirect()->back();
}
else{
return "student else";
return Redirect::route('get.student.dashBoard');
}
}
else if($checkStatus['user_type']=='1'){
return Redirect::route('get.admin.dashBoard');
}
else if($checkStatus['user_type']=='2'){
return 'admin sir view';
return Redirect::route('get.admin.dashBoard');
}
else if($checkStatus['user_type']=='3'){
return 'admin other view';
return Redirect::route('get.admin.dashBoard');
}
else{
Session::flash('fail', 'Oops Something went wrong!!');
return redirect()->back();
}
}
else{
Session::flash('fail', 'Login details not matched!!');
return redirect()->back();
}
}
return 'nothing works';
}
below is my routes for admin
Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {
Route::get('/login',
['as' => 'get.login.page',
'uses' => 'LoginController#getLoginPage']);

Answer 1

You should remove web middleware from middleware group to make it work. It applies to all routes inside web.php (5.3) and routes.php (5.2.27 and higher) automatically and if you'll add it manually, it will break session related functionality.
