Getting GET "?" Variable in Laravel

Take a look at the $_GET and $_REQUEST superglobals. Something like the following would work for your example:

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

EDIT

According to this post in the laravel forums, you need to use Input::get(), e.g.,

$start = Input::get('start');$limit = Input::get('limit');

I haven't tested on other Laravel versions but on 5.3-5.8 you reference the query parameter as if it were a member of the Request class.

1. Url

http://example.com/path?page=2

2. In a route callback or controller action using magic method Request::__get()

Route::get('/path', function(Request $request){ dd($request->page);}); //or in your controllerpublic function foo(Request $request){ dd($request->page);}//NOTE: If you are wondering where the request instance is coming from, Laravel automatically injects the request instance from the IOC container//output"2"

3. Default values

We can also pass in a default value which is returned if a parameter doesn't exist. It's much cleaner than a ternary expression that you'd normally use with the request globals

   //wrong way to do it in Laravel   $page = isset($_POST['page']) ? $_POST['page'] : 1;    //do this instead   $request->get('page', 1);   //returns page 1 if there is no page   //NOTE: This behaves like $_REQUEST array. It looks in both the   //request body and the query string   $request->input('page', 1);

4. Using request function

$page = request('page', 1);//returns page 1 if there is no page parameter in the query  string//it is the equivalent of$page = 1; if(!empty($_GET['page'])   $page = $_GET['page'];

The default parameter is optional therefore one can omit it

5. Using Request::query()

While the input method retrieves values from entire request payload (including the query string), the query method will only retrieve values from the query string

//this is the equivalent of retrieving the parameter//from the $_GET global array$page = $request->query('page');//with a default$page = $request->query('page', 1);

6. Using the Request facade

$page = Request::get('page');//with a default value$page = Request::get('page', 1);

You can read more in the official documentation https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/requests

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.
