Laravel 4 : How to pass multiple optional parameters

laravel, laravel-routing, php

Solution

If you have multiple optional parameters

Route::get('test',array('as'=>'test','uses'=>'HomeController@index'));

And inside your Controller

 class HomeController extends BaseController {
    public function index()
    {
       // for example public/test/id=1&page=2&opt=1
       if(Input::has('id'))
           echo Input::get('id'); // print 1
       if(Input::has('page'))
           echo Input::get('page'); // print 2
       //...
    }
 }

Problem

I am new to laravel and I am really struggling to understand how to pass multiple optional url parameters. What is the standard way to code routes when passing 3 optional parameters to the controller? Also is there a way to code a route to allow named parameters to be passed to the controller? such as ``` public/test/id=1&page=2&opt=1 or public/test/id=1/page=2/opt=1 ``` Thanks for any help
