title: Laravel redirect with data not working
body: <p>My application is a simple CRUD application. I have a delete controller action which redirects back to the list when the item is successfully deleted. What I'm trying to add now is a message to the user that the data was successfully deleted.</p>
  
  <p>My Controller Action:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public function deleteItem($id)
  {
      try {
          $item = Item::findOrFail($id);
          $item-&gt;delete();
          return Redirect::to('list')-&gt;with('message', 'Successfully deleted');
      } catch (ModelNotFoundException $e) {
          return View::make('errors.missing');
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The part of my list.blade.php view where I try to display the message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@if (isset($message))
      &lt;div class="alert alert-success alert-dismissable"&gt;
          &lt;button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&amp;times;&lt;/button&gt;
          {{ $message }}
      &lt;/div&gt;
  @endif
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem that I have is that the <code>$message</code> variable is always empty ..</p>
