I am trying to redirect to the previous page with a message when there is a fatal error.

App::fatal(function($exception)
{
    return Redirect::back()->with('msg', 'The Message');
}

In the view trying to access the msg with

Sessions::get('msg')

But nothing is getting rendered, am I doing something wrong here?

Try

return Redirect::back()->withErrors(['msg', 'The Message']);

and inside your view call this

@if($errors->any())
<h4>{{$errors->first()}}</h4>
@endif

Laravel 5 and later

Controller

 return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'your message,here');   

Blade:

@if (\Session::has('success'))
    <div class="alert alert-success">
        <ul>
            <li>{!! \Session::get('success') !!}</li>
        </ul>
    </div>
@endif

Alternative approach would be

Controller

use Session;
       
Session::flash('message', "Special message goes here");
return Redirect::back();

View

@if (Session::has('message'))
   <div class="alert alert-info">{{ Session::get('message') }}</div>
@endif

In Laravel 5.4 the following worked for me:

return back()->withErrors(['field_name' => ['Your custom message here.']]);

You have an error (misspelling):

Sessions::get('msg')// an extra 's' on end

Should be:

Session::get('msg')

I think, now it should work, it does for me.

Just set the flash message and redirect to back from your controller functiion.

    session()->flash('msg', 'Successfully done the operation.');
    return redirect()->back();

And then you can get the message in the view blade file.

   {!! Session::has('msg') ? Session::get("msg") : '' !!}

In Laravel 5.5:

return back()->withErrors($arrayWithErrors);

In the view using Blade:

@if($errors->has())
    <ul>
    @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
        <li>{{ $error }}</li>
    @endforeach
    </ul>
@endif

In laravel 5.8 you can do the following:

return redirect()->back()->withErrors(['name' => 'The name is required']);

and in blade:

@error('name')
<p>{{ $message }}</p>
@enderror

For Laravel 5.5+

Here is the 100% solution

*Above mentioned solutions does not works for me but this one works for me in laravel 5.8:

$status = 'Successfully Done';
return back()->with(['status' => $status]);

and receive it as:

@if(session()->has('status'))
     <p class="alert alert-success">{{session('status')}}</p>
@endif

I stopped writing this myself for laravel in favor of the Laracasts package that handles it all for you. It is really easy to use and keeps your code clean. There is even a laracast that covers how to use it. All you have to do:

Pull in the package through Composer.

"require": {
  "laracasts/flash": "~1.0"
}

Include the service provider within app/config/app.php.

'providers' => [
  'Laracasts\Flash\FlashServiceProvider'
];

Add a facade alias to this same file at the bottom:

'aliases' => [
  'Flash' => 'Laracasts\Flash\Flash'
];

Pull the HTML into the view:

@include('flash::message') 

There is a close button on the right of the message. This relies on jQuery so make sure that is added before your bootstrap.

optional changes:

If you aren't using bootstrap or want to skip the include of the flash message and write the code yourself:

@if (Session::has('flash_notification.message'))
  <div class="{{ Session::get('flash_notification.level') }}">
    {{ Session::get('flash_notification.message') }}
  </div>
@endif

If you would like to view the HTML pulled in by @include('flash::message'), you can find it in vendor/laracasts/flash/src/views/message.blade.php.

If you need to modify the partials do:

php artisan view:publish laracasts/flash

The two package views will now be located in the `app/views/packages/laracasts/flash/' directory.

in controller

For example

return redirect('login')->with('message',$message);

in blade file The message will store in session not in variable.

For example

@if(session('message'))
{{ session('message') }}
@endif

For laravel 5.6.*

While trying some of the provided answers in Laravel 5.6.*, it's clear there has been some improvements which I am going to post here to make things easy for those that could not find a solution with the rest of the answers.

Go to your Controller File and Add this before the class:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;

STEP 2: Add this where you want to return the redirect.

 return Redirect()->back()->with(['message' => 'The Message']);

STEP 3: Go to your blade file and edit as follows

@if (Session::has('message'))
<div class="alert alert-error>{{Session::get('message')}}</div>
 @endif

Then test and thank me later.

This should work with laravel 5.6.* and possibly 5.7.*

I faced with the same problem and this worked.

Controller

return Redirect::back()->withInput()->withErrors(array('user_name' => $message));

View

<div>{{{ $errors->first('user_name') }}}</div>

For Laravel 3

Just a heads up on @giannis christofakis answer; for anyone using Laravel 3 replace

return Redirect::back()->withErrors(['msg', 'The Message']);

with:

return Redirect::back()->with_errors(['msg', 'The Message']);

Laravel 5.6.*

Controller

if(true) {
   $msg = [
        'message' => 'Some Message!',
       ];

   return redirect()->route('home')->with($msg);
} else {
  $msg = [
       'error' => 'Some error!',
  ];
  return redirect()->route('welcome')->with($msg);
}

Blade Template

  @if (Session::has('message'))
       <div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
           {{Session::get('message')}}
       </div>
  @elseif (Session::has('error'))
       <div class="alert alert-warning" role="alert">
           {{Session::get('error')}}
       </div>
  @endif

In blade

 @if(Session::has('success'))

    <div class="alert alert-success" id="alert">
        <strong>Success:</strong> {{Session::get('success')}}
    </div>

@elseif(session('error'))
    <div class="alert alert-danger" id="alert">
        
        <strong>Error:</strong>{{Session::get('error')}}
    </div>
@endif

In controller for success

 return redirect()->route('homee')->with('success','Successfully Log in '); 

for error

 return back()->with('error',"You are not able to access");

I got this message when I tried to redirect as:

public function validateLogin(LoginRequest $request){
    //

    return redirect()->route('sesion.iniciar')
            ->withErrors($request)
            ->withInput();

When the right way is:

public function validateLogin(LoginRequest $request){
    //

    return redirect()->route('sesion.iniciar')
            ->withErrors($request->messages())
            ->withInput();
