request input vs request get
What's the difference between:
$request->input('edit_biller_id');
and
$request->get('edit_biller_id');

The recommended usage is ->input() as it is a little bit more powerfull because it can parse nested data more fluently. The current docblock of the get() function even mentions: "This method belongs to Symfony HttpFoundation and is not usually needed when using Laravel. Instead, you may use the "input" method."

I personally use input for fetching POST data and query for fetching query string values.

old thread
input also
a) allows a default value to be provided if missing from the form
b) allows inputs that contain a hypen, which you cannot do with $request magic method,
eg $request->input('sub-total') instead of the invalid $request->sub-total
