From the pervious post, I was create a tutorial about how to make simple login form with Laravel 4 in here https://imron02.wordpress.com/2013/12/21/simple-login-using-laravel-4/, and now I want add remember me function. So for what remember me function?
Not like form login without remember me, the laravel authentication using the default cookies (name laravel_session) and the cookies have expired time very short (only two hours). Example, if we success login without remember me, so laravel create cookies with time only two hours and if we close the browser and not logout from the page, so if we open the /home page again, we can get in without login again. But if I want open next day, that not work and we must login again.
Okay, now how to implement remember me cookies. Open your simple login from (from the previous post) and open app/views/login.php and change code like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Simple Login</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo Form::open(array('url' => 'login', 'role' => 'form')) ?>
<h2>Please sign in</h2>
<!-- if there are login errors, show them here -->
<p>
<?php if(Session::has('flash_notice')): ?>
<div id="flash_notice"><?php echo Session::get('flash_notice') ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
</p>
<input type="text" name="username" value="<?php echo Input::old('username') ?>" required="required" autofocus="autofocus" autocomplete="off" placeholder="Username" />
<input name="password" placeholder="Password" required="required" type="password" />
<div>
<input name="remember" type="checkbox" /> Remember me
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Sign in" />
<?php echo Form::close() ?>
</body>
</html>
And if we open the page, we can get result like this:
Then open app/controllers/LoginController.php and change code like this:
<?php
class LoginController extends BaseController
{
public function validate()
{
// set the remember me cookie if the user check the box
$remember = (Input::has('remember')) ? true : false;
// attempt to do the login
$auth = Auth::attempt(
[
'username' => strtolower(Input::get('username')),
'password' => Input::get('password')
], $remember
);
if ($auth) {
return Redirect::to('home');
} else {
// validation not successful, send back to form
return Redirect::to('/')
->withInput(Input::except('password'))
->with('flash_notice', 'Your username/password combination was incorrect.');
}
}
}
Now open your login page and checklist the remember me input like this:
And this is the different if we using remember me function and not (laravel cookies value):
Look the name remember_*** and look the tab expires. From that, we get result the cookies expires valid until 2019 (Or 5 years from now), and it’s the default cookies expired time from laravel. Form more info see on here http://laravel.com/docs/requests#cookies
The from the result, we get 2 cookies from laravel. For laravel_session is the default cookies from laravel.
So now try to login without checked remember me input, so we can get result only one cookies like this:
