Laravel 5: redirect to an external link outside of localhost/server

Question

I want to build an app with laravel 5 & dropbox API in which I want the API allow/cancel-warning to be displayed when you land on the homepage, not when you click a butt

Answer 1

This code works for me:

return redirect()->away('https://www.dropbox.com');

Make sure you also add a return (i.e. return $this->checkSession();) in start().

Answer 2

Below code will work

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

And this will also work.

return redirect('http://www.paypal.com');

Answer 3

For https and such use the following

return redirect()->to($refererUrl);

Answer 4

Can do this,

use Redirect;

return Redirect::to('your url');

Or just,

return \Redirect::to('your url');
