TokenMismatchException in VerifyCsrfToken.php Line 67 - laravel-5

I know that this is a known error with things like forms in Laravel. But I am facing an issue with basic authentication in Laravel 5.2.
I created the auth using Laravel;
php artisan make:auth
Now I have the same copy of code on my server and my local. On my local I am getting no issue whatsoever. However on my server, when I try to register a user I get the error saying TokenMismatchException in VerifyCsrfToken.php Line 67
Both my local and server environments are in sync, yet I keep getting the error on registration. Any help on how I can fix this?

I'm assuming you added $this->middleware('auth'); inside the constructor of your controller to get the authentication working. In your login/register forms, if you are using {!! Form::someElement !!}, add the following line at the top as well:
{!! csrf_field() !!}
Or if you are using input tags inside your forms, just add the following line after <form> tag:
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
Hope this helps.

I had a similar issue and it was an easy fix.
Add this in your HTML meta tag area :
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
Then under your JQuery reference, add this code :
<script type="text/javascript">
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
}
});
</script>
If you are using the HTML form submit (not AJAX) then you need to put :
{{ csrf_field() }}
inside your form tags.

I was about to start pulling out my hair!
Please check your session cookie domain in session.php config. There is a domain option that has to match your environment and it's good practice to have this configurable with you .env file for development.
'domain' => env('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'some-sensible-default.com'),

If nothing is working you can remove the CSRF security check by going to App/Http/Middleware/VerifyCsrfToken.php file and adding your routes to protected $excpt.
e.g. if i want to remove CSRF protection from all routes.
protected $except = [
'/*'
];
P.S although its a good practice to include CSRF protection.

You need to have this line of code in the section of your HTML document, you could do that by default , it won't do any harm:
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}" />
And in your form you need to add this hidden input field:
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
Thats it, worked for me.

I was facing the same issue with my application running on laravel 5.4
php artisan session:table
php artisan make:auth
php artisan migrate
.. and then following command works for me :)
chmod 777 storage/framework/sessions/
One more possibility of this issue, if you have set SESSION_DOMAIN (in .env) different than HOST_NAME
Happy coding

I have also faced the same issue and solved it later.
first of all execute the artisan command:
php artisan cache:clear
And after that restart the project.
Hope it will help.

Your form method is post. So open the Middleware/VerifyCsrfToken .php file , find the isReading() method and add 'POST' method in array.

There are lot of possibilities that can cause this problem.
let me mention one.
Have you by any chance altered your session.php config file?
May be you have changed the value of domain from null to you site name or anything else in session.php
'domain' => null,
Wrong configuration in this file can cause this problem.

By default session cookies will only be sent back to the server if the browser has a HTTPS connection. You can turn it off in your .env file (discouraged for production)
SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE=false
Or you can turn it off in config/session.php
'secure' => false,

I also get this error, but I was solved the problem. If you using php artisan serve add this code {{ csrf_field() }} under {!! Form::open() !!}
php artisan cache:clear
Clear cache & cookies browser
Using Private Browser (Mozilla) / Incognito Window (Chrome)
Open your form/page and then submit again guys
I hope this is solve your problem.

Make sure
{!! csrf_field() !!}
is added within your form in blade syntax.
or in simple form syntax
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
along with this,
make sure, in session.php (in config folder), following is set correctly.
'domain' => env('SESSION_DOMAIN', 'sample-project.com'),
or update the same in .env file like,
SESSION_DOMAIN=sample-project.com
In my case {!! csrf_field() !!} was added correctly but SESSION_DOMAIN was not configured correctly. After I changed it with correct value in my .env file, it worked.

change the session driver in session.php to file mine was set to array.

Can also occur if 'www-data' user has no access/write permissions
on the folder:
'laravel-project-folder'/storage/framework/sessions/

Below worked for me.
<input type = "hidden" name = "_token" value = "<?php echo csrf_token(); ?>">

Have you checked your hidden input field where the token is generated?
If it is null then your token is not returned by csrf_token function.You have to write your route that renders the form inside the middleware group provide by laravel as follows:
Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Here root route contains my sign up page which requires csrf token. This token is managed by laravel 5.2.7 inside 'web' middleware in kernel.php.
Do not forget to insert {!! csrf_field() !!} inside the form..

Go to app/provides.
Then, in file RouteServiceProvider.php, you'll have to delete 'middleware' => 'web' in protected function mapWebRoutes(Router $router)

The problem by me was to small post_max_size value in php.ini.

Put this code in between <form> and </form> tag:
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">

I had the same issue but I solved it by correcting my form open as shown below :
{!!Form::open(['url'=>route('auth.login-post'),'class'=>'form-horizontal'])!!}
If this doesn't solve your problem, can you please show how you opened the form ?

You should try this.
Add {{ csrf_field() }} just after your form opening tag like so.
<form method="POST" action="/your/{{ $action_id }}">
{{ csrf_field() }}

Are you redirecting it back after the post ? I had this issue and I was able to solve it by returning the same view instead of using the Redirect::back().
Use this return view()->with(), instead of Redirect::back().

For me, I had to use secure https rather than http.

try changing the session lifetime on config/session.php like this :
'lifetime' => 120, to 'lifetime' => 360,
Here I set lifetime to 360, hope this help.

I got this error when uploading large files (videos). Form worked fine, no mismatch error, but as soon as someone attached a large video file it would throw this token error. Adjusting the maximum allowable file size and increasing the processing time solved this problem for me. Not sure why Laravel throws this error in this case, but here's one more potential solution for you.
Here's a StackOverflow answer that goes into more detail about how to go about solving the large file upload issue.
PHP change the maximum upload file size

In my case, I had a problem when trying to login after restarting server, but I had csrf field in the form and I didn't refresh the page, or it kept something wrong in the cache.
This was my solution. I put this piece of code in \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken.php
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
try {
return parent::handle($request, $next); // TODO: Change the autogenerated stub
} catch(TokenMismatchException $e) {
return redirect()->back();
}
}
What it does is catching the TokenMismatchException and then redirecting the user back to the page (to reload csrf token in header and in the field).
It might not work always, but it worked for my problem.

Try php artisan cache:clear or manually delete storage cache from server.

If you check some of the default forms from Laravel 5.4 you fill find how this is done:
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="POST" action="{{ route('password.email') }}">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="form-group{{ $errors->has('email') ? ' has-error' : '' }}">
<label for="email" class="col-md-4 control-label">E-Mail Address</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="email" type="email" class="form-control" name="email" value="{{ old('email') }}" required> #if ($errors->has('email'))
<span class="help-block">
<strong>{{ $errors->first('email') }}</strong>
</span> #endif
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-4">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">
Send Password Reset Link
</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
{{ csrf_field() }}
is the most appropriate way to add a custom hidden field that Laravel will understand.
csrf_filed() uses csrf_token() inside as you can see:
if (! function_exists('csrf_field')) {
/**
* Generate a CSRF token form field.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Support\HtmlString
*/
function csrf_field()
{
return new HtmlString('<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="'.csrf_token().'">');
}
}
And csrf_field() method uses session for the job.
function csrf_token()
{
$session = app('session');
if (isset($session)) {
return $session->token();
}
throw new RuntimeException('Application session store not set.');
}

I have same issue when I was trying out Laravel 5.2 at first, then I learnt about {{!! csrf_field() !!}} to be added in the form and that solved it. But later I learnt about Form Helpers, this takes care of CSRF protection and does not give any errors. Though Form Helpers are not legitimately available after Laravel 5.2, you can still use them from LaravelCollective.

Got to your laravel folder :: App/http/Middleware/VerifyCsrfToken.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken as BaseVerifier;
class VerifyCsrfToken extends BaseVerifier
{
/**
* The URIs that should be excluded from CSRF verification.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $except = [
// Pass your URI here. example ::
'/employer/registration'
];
}
And it will exclude this url from the Csrf validation. Works for me.

Laravel Breeze logout redirect on 127.0.0.1 on shared host

I have domain for example aaa.com. And I deploy Laravel on my webhost succesfully. Login, pages, all things etc. works fine. but whenever I logout it redirects me to 127.0.0.1 not aaa.com. Of course, I have to point out that I am using Laravel Breeze
and here is what I wrote:
my logout form inside any page.
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('logout') }}">
#csrf
<button type="submit" class="underline text-sm text-gray-600 hover:text-gray-900">
{{ __('Log Out') }}
</button>
</form>
My web.php include require __DIR__.'/auth.php'; . Does not contain any logout redirects.
and inside auth.php
Route::post('logout', [AuthenticatedSessionController::class, 'destroy'])
->name('logout');
and finally AuthenticatedSessionController.php
public function destroy(Request $request)
{
Auth::guard('web')->logout();
$request->session()->invalidate();
$request->session()->regenerateToken();
return redirect('/');
}
I don't understand why I am being redirected to 127.0.0.1 instead of aaa.com?
Edit:
and forgot to mention my .env file include
APP_URL=https://aaa.com
In .env file, Change APP_URL
APP_URL=http://aaa.com
Thank you to everyone who replied. It fixed itself the next day. It must be something left in the web host's cache, or your browser's. It's not a Laravel thing.

How can I customize the Log Out in Laravel 8 using Breeze?

I'm using tailwind, Laravel 8 and Breeze.
After installing Breeze I would like to customize (change size, color and text) the log out button but I have no idea how to do that.
Here is the code :
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('logout') }}">
#csrf
<x-dropdown-link :href="route('logout')"
onclick="event.preventDefault();
.closest('form').submit();">
{{ __('Log Out') }}
</x-dropdown-link>
</form>
and the auth.php
Route::post('/logout', [AuthenticatedSessionController::class, 'destroy'])
->middleware('auth')
->name('logout');
Thanks for your help
To begin, you should be aware that the dropdown-link is rendered using a component. When you alter the components, it may affect all pages that use that component.
You can modify that component in this file: resources/views/components/dropdown-link.blade.php
use this code in your blade file
Logout
#csrf
its on working

The POST method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: PUT. LARAVEL

I would like to send data with PUT method
However, this error happens.
Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\MethodNotAllowedHttpException
The POST method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: PUT.
I don't really understand why my code is not correct.
web.php
Route::get('/', function () {
return redirect('/home');
});
Auth::routes();
Route::put('/save_data', 'AbcController#saveData')->name('save_data');
view.blade.php
<form action="{{route('save_data')}}" method="POST">
#method('PUT')
#csrf
<input type = "hidden" name = "type" value ='stack' >
<div>
<button>post</button>
</div>
</form>
when it is changed
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
instead of
#method('PUT')
#csrf
It works well.
make sure to check First Another Route with Same Name
You can make POST route and dont need to put this after form tag #method('PUT')
CHange the Placement of the route before this Auth::routes();
use save_data in route instead of /save_data.
use {{url('save_data')}} in action instead of {{route('save_data')}}.
If you insist on using PUT you can change the form action to POST and
add a hidden method_field that has a value PUTand a hidden csrf field
(if you are using blade then you just need to add #csrf_field and {{
method_field('PUT') }}). This way the form would accept the request.
You can simply change the route and form method to POST. It will work
just fine since you are the one defining the route and not using the
resource group
after all this run artisan command
php artisan route:clear
Change:
<button>post</button>
to:
<button type="submit">post</button>

How to make custom POST request in Laravel?

I tried to do the custom POST request in Laravel without form, therefore I get error:
TokenMismatchException in VerifyCsrfToken.php line 68:
So, how can I fix it?
You should add token to the request:
{{ csrf_field() }}
If you're using Ajax, read this.
Add this to the form in your view:
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
It should solve this.

Laravel form won't PATCH, only POST - nested RESTfull Controllers, MethodNotAllowedHttpException

I am trying to allow users to edit their playlist. However, whenever I try to execute the PATCH request, I get the MethodNotAllowedHttpException error. (it is expecting a POST)
I have set up RESTful Resource Controllers:
Routes.php:
Route::resource('users', 'UsersController');
Route::resource('users.playlists', 'PlaylistsController');
This should give me access to: (as displayed through php artisan routes)
URI | Name | Action
PATCH users/{users}/playlists/{playlists} | users.playlists.update | PlaylistsController#update
However, when I try to execute the following form, I get the MethodNotAllowedHttpException error:
/users/testuser/playlists/1/edit
{{ Form::open(['route' => ['users.playlists.update', $playlist->id], 'method' => 'PATCH' ]) }}
{{ Form::text('title', $playlist->title) }}
{{ Form::close() }}
If I remove 'method'=> 'PATCH' I don't get an error, but it executes my public function store() and not my public function update()
In Laravel 5 and up:
<form method="POST" action="patchlink">
#method('patch')
. . .
</form>
Write {!! method_field('patch') !!} after form:
<form method="POST" action="patchlink">
{!! method_field('patch') !!}
. . .
</form>
Official documentation for helper function method_field()
Since html forms support only GET and POST you need to add an extra hidden field
to the form called _method in order to simulate a PATCH request
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PATCH">
As suggested by #Michael A in the comment above, send it as a POST
<form method="POST" action="patchlink">
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PATCH">
Worked for me.
