Form::open not working in laravel 4.3

See - https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/43-forms

You need to include illuminate/html in composer.json

also remember to register the service provider : Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider

and to add the aliases : 'HTML' => 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade' 'Form' => 'Illuminate\Html\FormFacade'

I wonder if Taylor plans on moving more of that functionality into the blade template itself instead, similar to how Plates uses extensions. It would be nice to have the functionality of the html and form facades baked right into blade's syntax.

I doubt it. He moved it out so the community could eventually work on it as he got tired of the bugs / pull requests for that specific package.
