Laravel 5.2: Validation -> Undefined variable: errors

I am trying to set up validation in my Laravel 5.2 application, and I am running into errors (with the $error variable).

In my store function in my controller, I have:

public function store(Request $request) { $this->validate($request, [ 'email' => 'required|unique:users|email|max:255', ]);

$input = Request::all();

User::create($input);

return redirect('/');

}

And in my layout.blade.php I have:

        @if (count($errors) > 0)
        @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
        {{ $errors }}
        @endforeach
        @endif

Unfortunately, when I load the page, I get the error:

ErrorException in d11d406d31757f18bd6981644c3c801da637cb2a.php line 50:
Undefined variable: errors (View: /home/vagrant/code/***********/resources/views/layout.blade.php) (View: /home/vagrant/code/***********/resources/views/layout.blade.php)

Output:

Why is this happening? Thank you!
