Controller

$id=Session::get('customer_id');
return Redirect::to('businessprio/create_news?p=1');
}
else if($logincheck == 0)

//echo "fail";
return Redirect::to('businessprio/create');
}
}
Model
public static function login_checks($uname,$password)
{
$check = DB::table('customer_login')
->where('username','=',$uname)
->where('password','=',$password)->get();
if($check)
{
//Session::put(['customer_id'=>'value']);
Session::put('customer_id', $check[0]->customer_id);
Session::put('username', $check[0]->username);
return 1;
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}

Answer 1

I won't pass it to model, instead i would do it in controller itself,
public function user_login_submits()
{
$uname = Input::get('username');
$password = Input::get('password');
$check = DB::table('customer_login')
->where('username','=',$uname)
->where('password','=',$password)->count();
if($check==1)
{
$id=Session::get('customer_id');
return Redirect::to('businessprio/create_news?p=1');
}
else
{
return Redirect::to('businessprio/create');
}
}
Recommendation :
But i would strongly recommend you to do it by Auth::attempt i.e., to follow the clean one
public function user_login_submits()
{
if (Auth::attempt(['email' => $userEmail, 'password' => $userPassword])) {
return Redirect::to('businessprio/create_news?p=1');
}
else
{
return Redirect::to('businessprio/create');
}
}
If you do so, then you can access the Default checking for authenticated user
Auth::check()
Get the Logged in user details by
Auth::user()->id
Auth::user()->username
Note : To use default Auth::attempt you should use the User Model too.
