Laravel Application Helper Function: abort

abort($code, $message = '', array $headers = [])

The abort function will throw an instance of
Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpException with the given $code, $message and any $headers supplied. These exceptions can be caught and handled through the application's kernel.

If the $code supplied is 404, the abort function will return an instance of
Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException using only the user supplied $message.

The following example assumes that some $user object exists with the property admin. The example will check to make sure that the admin property is true. If not, the code will abort with a 401 (unauthorized access) error code.
