Retrieve and display the Url where a form has been completed in Laravel 5

Question

I would like to add a feature to my messenger.

When a buyer sends a message to a seller from a listing, only from a listing (www.website.com/listings/...) I would like to add a link to this listing in the messenger so that the seller can find the reference listing.

Here is the code (which does not work):

In message.blade.php (form):

<input name="listingurl" type="hidden" value="<?php echo url()->current();?>">

In MController.php:

$listingurl = Input::get('listingurl');

In show.blade.php (messenger):

<a href="{{ $listingurl }}">Listing</a>

Thank you for your help!
