Getting GET “?” variable in laravel

Question

Hello I\'m creating API using REST and Laravel following this article.

Everything works well as expected.

Now, I want to map GET request to recognise variabl

Answer 1

We have similar situation right now and as of this answer, I am using laravel 5.6 release.

I will not use your example in the question but mine, because it's related though.

I have route like this:

Route::name('your.name.here')->get('/your/uri', 'YourController@someMethod');

Then in your controller method, make sure you include

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

and this should be above your controller, most likely a default, if generated using php artisan, now to get variable from the url it should look like this:

  public function someMethod(Request $request)
  {
    $foo = $request->input("start");
    $bar = $request->input("limit");

    // some codes here
  }

Regardless of the HTTP verb, the input() method may be used to retrieve user input.

Hope this help.

Answer 2

In laravel 5.3 $start = Input::get('start'); returns NULL

To solve this

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Input;

//then inside you controller function  use

$input = Input::all(); // $input will have all your variables,  

$start = $input['start'];
$limit = $input['limit'];
