Redirect to external URL with return in laravel

Question

I am trying to send one time password to a user using SMS INDIA HUB API. For that purpose I need to redirect to a URL format:

http://cloud.smsindiahub.in/vendorsms/pushs

Answer 1

For Laravel 5.x / 6.x / 7.x use:

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

as stated in the docs:

Sometimes you may need to redirect to a domain outside of your application. You may do so by calling the away method, which creates a RedirectResponse without any additional URL encoding, validation, or verification:

Answer 2

You can use Redirect::away($url)

Answer 3

return Redirect::away($url); should work to redirect

Also, return Redirect::to($url); to redirect inside the view.

Answer 4

If you're using InertiaJS, the away() approach won't work as seen on the inertiaJS github, they are discussing the best way to create a "external redirect" on inertiaJS, the solution for now is return a 409 status with X-Inertia-Location header informing the url, like this:

return response('', 409)
            ->header('X-Inertia-Location', $paymentLink);

Where paymentLink is the link you want to send the user to.

Answer 5

You should be able to redirect to the url like this

return Redirect::to($url);

You can read about Redirects in the Laravel docs here.

Answer 6

Define the url you want to redirect in $url

Then just use

return Redirect::away($url);

If you want to redirect inside your views use

return Redirect::to($url);

Update 1 :

Here is the simple example

return Redirect::to('http://www.google.com');

Update 2 :

As the Questioner wants to return in the same page

$triggersms = file_get_contents('http://www.cloud.smsindiahub.in/vendorsms/pushsms.aspx?user=efg&password=abcd&msisdn=9197xxx2&sid=MYID&msg=Hello');
return $triggersms;
