Simple variable passing through controller showing error in Laravel 4.2 - php

Question

I am trying to pass a simple $name variable via controller.
Controller file:
if($validator->fails())
{
$this->layout->content = View::make('admin.login' )->with('name',$name);
}
Note:
protected $layout = 'admin.layout.login_master';
$layout is class member for login page layout
View file:
#section('content')
<h1>Admin Login</h1>
{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'admin/login','method'=>'post')) }}
<div style="color:red">
{{ $name }}
</div>
<div id="row">
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::label('username', 'Username') }}
{{ Form::text('username', '', array('class' => 'form-control')) }}
</div>
</div>
<div id="row">
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::label('password') }}
{{ Form::password('password', array('class' => 'form-control')) }}
</div>
</div>
<div id="row">
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::submit('Login',array('class'=>'btn btn-default')) }}
</div>
</div>
{{ Form::close() }}
#stop
it's showing an error in the log file:
Next exception 'ErrorException' with message 'Undefined variable: name (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\portfolio\app\views\admin\login.blade.php)' in C:\xampp\htdocs\portfolio\app\storage\views\94976abb04474489c25123342a2993a1:7
Stack trace:
and in the browser it's showing:
Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

If this is not working, there are other ways also to pass variables from controller to view in Laravel
if you have $name variable defined and want to access in views with $name then u can try any of following
$this->layout->content = View::make('admin.login' )->withName($name);
$this->layout->content = View::make('admin.login' )->with(compact('name'));
$this->layout->content = View::make('admin.login', array('name'=>$name) )
