How to Forward a Request to Another Controller in Laravel

If you have ever need to forward or call another controller from a controller in Laravel, here are two methods

This will redirect the request to another controller’s method.

return redirect()->action('AnotherController@method');

You can also call another method directly without doing a redirect

return app->call('App\Http\Controllers\AnotherController@method');

Hope one of these methods help!

Hello,
The second solution is wrong:

return app->call(‘App\Http\Controllers\AnotherController@method’);

needs to be

return app()->call(‘App\Http\Controllers\AnotherController@method’);
