Difference between get() and all() in laravel

Question

What is difference between these two in laravel ``` $input = Input::get(); ``` And ``` $input = Input::all(); ``` And which one i should prefer.

Accepted Answer

Taken from the laravel source:

```
public static function all()
{
   $input = array_merge(static::get(), static::query(), static::file());
   // ....
   return $input;
}
```

So `all()` calls `get()` and returns it's contents along with `query()`, and `file()` the $_FILES superglobal.

Preference will obviously depend on circumstance. I personally choose to use `Input::get($key, $default)` as I usually know what I am after.
