Access query string values from Laravel

laravel, laravel-4, laravel-routing, php, query-string

Solution

Yes, it is possible. Try this:

Route::get('test', function(){
    return "<h1>" . Input::get("color") . "</h1>";
});

and call it by going to `http://example.com/test?color=red`.

You can, of course, extend it with additional arguments to your heart's content. Try this:

Route::get('test', function(){
    return "<pre>" . print_r(Input::all(), true) . "</pre>";
});

and add some more arguments:

http://example.com/?color=red&time=now&greeting=bonjour`

This will give you

Array
(
    [color] => red
    [time] => now
    [greeting] => bonjour
)

Problem

Does anyone know if it's possible to make use of URL query's within Laravel. Example I have the following route: ``` Route::get('/text', 'TextController@index'); ``` And the text on that page is based on the following url query: ``` http://example.com/text?color={COLOR} ``` How would I approach this within Laravel?
