Laravel: Auth::user()->id trying to get a property of a non-object
Now with laravel 4.2 it is easy to get user's id:
$userId = Auth::id();that is all.
But to retrieve user's data other than id, you use:
$email = Auth::user()->email;For more details, check security part of the documentation
If you are using Sentry check the logged in user with Sentry::getUser()->id. The error you get is that the Auth::user() returns NULL and it tries to get id from NULL hence the error trying to get a property from a non-object.
Do a Auth::check() before to be sure that you are well logged in :
if (Auth::check()){ // The user is logged in...}
