Laravel5 Redirect to external URL with params

Question

I've gone through the following page, but I can't find any examples at all: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/responses#redirects.

I've tried the following:

return redirect()->away('http://bla.com');

This works, but as soon as you add params to it you get the following error message

PHP:

return redirect()->away('http://bla.com', ['bla' => 'bla']);

ERROR:

InvalidArgumentException in Response.php line 470: The HTTP status code "1" is not valid.

Answer 1

Just add them to the string.

return redirect()->away('http://bla.com?bla=bla');

The second parameter for this function is the http status that should be sent to the visitor. So when you add an array this is parsed as a 1.

Answer 2

If you want to get some variable ,you can use this

$kw='bla';
return redirect()->away('http://bla.com?bla='.$kw);
