Check if request is GET or POST

Question

In my controller/action:

if(!empty($_POST))
{
    if(Auth::attempt(Input::get(\'data\')))
    {
        return Redirect::intended();
    }
    else
    {
                


        

Answer 1

Use Request::getMethod() to get method used for current request, but this should be rarely be needed as Laravel would call right method of your controller, depending on request type (i.e. getFoo() for GET and postFoo() for POST).
