How to Display Multibyte Character Flash Messages in Laravel 7

When developing web applications, especially contact forms, providing feedback to users through flash messages is essential. A prevalent challenge arises when developers attempt to use multibyte characters, like Japanese text, in these messages. In this guide, we focus on solving this challenge using Laravel 7, a popular PHP framework.

The Problem

In Laravel 7, you might want to inform users of successful actions using flash messages. For example, after submitting a contact form, you may want to display a thank you message in Japanese. However, many developers struggle with how to properly format and display this kind of message. A user had attempted the following code:

Despite their efforts, the expected flash message would not display as intended.

Why the Issue Occurs

The problem primarily stems from the misunderstanding of how to set flash messages. When using the with() method, the first parameter serves as the key for accessing the message, while the second parameter is the actual message content. In this case, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the code; rather, the fact that messages aren't appearing is likely due to how Laravel retrieves and displays flash messages.

The Solution

To correctly display a multibyte character as a flash message in Laravel 7, follow these simple steps:

1. Use the Correct Syntax

Ensure you're using the correct syntax for the with() method. Instead of setting the key in Japanese, use a generic key name (like 'success') that you can use to retrieve your message in the view:

2. Display the Flash Message in the View

Once you've set the flash message, you need to display it in your view. In your Blade file, you can check if a session variable (in this case, the 'success' key) is set and then show the message:

3. Ensure Proper Encoding

While Laravel handles multibyte characters quite well, ensuring your files are saved with UTF-8 encoding can prevent any issues with character display. This is particularly important if working with different languages within your application.

Conclusion

In summary, displaying multibyte character flash messages, such as Japanese text, in Laravel 7 can be easily achieved. By ensuring you use a proper key for your flash messages and displaying them correctly in your views, you can effectively communicate with users in their preferred language. These steps will not only enhance the user experience but also make your application more accessible and user-friendly.
