Laravel route with variable in the url - authentication

Question

I am trying to implement the password reset logic. The user gets the link to reset the password in the email. The url looks like
http://example.com/reset/resetcode
I have the route defined for it:
Route::get('reset/{resetcode}', function(){
return View::make('users.reset_password');
});
The form is rendered in the view to submit the email, new password etc. For the post of the form I have route defined as:
Route::post('reset/{resetcode}', array( 'as' => 'reset', 'uses' => 'UserController#passwordReset'));
I grab the resetcode from post route inside the passwordReset controller below
public function passwordReset($resetcode)
{
$validation = Validator::make(Input::all(), UserModel::$rulesPasswordReset);
if ($validation->passes())
{
try
{
// Find the user using the user email address
$user = Sentry::findUserByLogin(Input::get('email'));
// Check if the reset password code is valid
if ($user->checkResetPasswordCode($resetcode))
{
// Attempt to reset the user password
if ($user->attemptResetPassword($resetcode, 'new_password'))
{
// Password reset passed
}
else
{
// Password reset failed
}
}
else
{
// The provided password reset code is Invalid
}
}
catch (Cartalyst\Sentry\Users\UserNotFoundException $e)
{
echo 'User was not found.';
}
}
else return Redirect::route('reset')->withInput()
->withErrors($validation)
->with('title', 'resetrequestfailure')
->with('message', 'Seems like you made some errors.');
}
The problem I am having is when I do Redirect::route after the validation fails. I am getting the resetcode from the route defined for post. When validation fails, the redirect route messes up and I cannot get the resetcode the second time. The supposed url of format
http://example.com/reset/8f1Z7wA4uVt7VemBpGSfaoI9mcjdEwtK8elCnQOb
becomes
http://bcnet.org/reset/%7Bcode%7D
It has to do with /{resetcode} part of the route and this is variable, so how can I get the correct resetcode even after the validation fails meaning that the url remains intact. Or how can I fix it to the appropriate Redirect::route after the validation failure.

You need to include the $resetcode on your return
else return Redirect::route('reset', $resetcode)->withInput()
->withErrors($validation)
