With Laravel 5 I'm not able to setup get route parameters.
My route is setup like this:
Route::get('test', 'TestController@test');
And my TestController looks like this:
public function test(Request $request)
{
var_dump($request->input('foo'));
}
When I browse to that route with a parameter
/test?foo=bar
the result is NULL.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
The Input::get('foo') syntax doesn't work either (and is not even mentioned in the documentation for L5).
Update:
I'm using Apache as webserver.
I have also tried
$request->get('foo')
and a route like this
Route::get('test/{foo?}', 'TestController@test');
with the same URL and still get null.
Update 2:
The documentation of L5 gives examples for routes like this:
/test/bar
instead of
/test?foo=bar
In L4 it was possible to browse to routes with GET like
/test?foo=bar&id=2&user=admin
or changing the order
/test?id=2&user=admin&foo=bar
with one and the same route
Route::get('test', 'TestController@test');
and all you had to do was get it with
Input::get('user')
But with L5 it wouldn't be possible to change the order of parameters when you have to use slashes in the routes like
Route::get('test/{id}/{user}/{foo}', 'TestController@test');
Is this really a big downgrade for routes in L5?
