I am having an issue with a certain function that sends a password request within my UserController in laravel 4. It checks to see if the email exists in the database then sends an email if the user does. The function then creates a token in a table and sends that at the end of the link within the email.

The function works as for as creating the token in the database but it seems to have an issue because i keep getting the Maximum execution time error. I do not know what is causing this, it seems to have something to do with the redirect. Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance!

Here is the controller function:

public function passwordRequest()
    {
        $data = [
            "requested"=>Input::old("requested")
        ];

        if(Input::server("REQUEST_METHOD") == "POST") {

            $input = Input::all();
            $rules = [
                "email" => "required|exists:users,email"
            ];
            $v = Validator::make($input, $rules);

            if($v->passes()) {
                $credentials = [
                    "email" => Input::get("email"),
                ];

                Password::remind($credentials, function($message, $user) {
                    $message->from("request@test.com");
                });

                $data["requested"] = true;

                return Redirect::route("user/request")->with($data);
            }

            return Redirect::to(URL::route("user/request"))->withInput($data)->withErrors($v);
        }

        return View::make("user/request", $data);
    }

here is the routes.php file:

Route::group(["before"=>"guest"], function() {
    Route::any("/", [
        "as"=>"user/login",
        "uses"=>"UserController@userLogin"
    ]);

    Route::any("/request", [
        "as"=>"user/request",
        "uses"=>"UserController@passwordRequest"
    ]);

    Route::any("/reset", [
        "as"=>"user/reset",
        "uses"=>"UserController@passwordReset"
    ]);

    Route::any("/register", [
        "as" => "user/register", 
        "uses" => "UserController@userRegister"
    ]);
})

;

here is the view if needed:

@extends("layouts.master")

@section("content")
<h1>Request Password Reset</h1>

{{ Form::open([
    "route"=>"user/request",
    "autocomplete"=>"off"
]) }}

    @if(isset($errors))
        @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
            <div class="error">
                <li>{{ $error }}</li>
            </div>
        @endforeach
    @endif

    @if(Session::has("requested"))
        <div class="success">
            <li>An email has been sent with your password reset request.</li>
        </div>
        {{ Session::forget('requested') }}
    @endif
    <br />
    {{ Form::label("email", "Email:") }}
    {{ Form::text("email", Input::old("email"), [
        "placeholder"=>"Email Address"
    ]) }}

    {{ Form::submit("Reset") }}

{{ Form::close() }}
<br />
{{ HTML::linkRoute("user/login", "Return to Login") }}
@stop
