Checking if a request parameter exists and is not empty
I have been logging request parameter checks, ht all are false.
this is my check:
if( $request->exists('id') ){ Log::info( 'request->exists(id) true' ); } else { Log::info( 'request->exists(id) false' ); }
if( $request->filled('id') ){ Log::info( 'request->filled(id) true' ); } else { Log::info( 'request->filled(id) false' ); }
if( $request->has('id') ){ Log::info( 'request->has(id) true' ); } else { Log::info( 'request->has(id) false' ); }
Log::info( 'Actual $request->id = ' . $request->id );
and this is the log file:
[2018-08-25 15:01:38] local.INFO: request->exists(id) false [2018-08-25 15:01:38] local.INFO: request->filled(id) false [2018-08-25 15:01:38] local.INFO: request->has(id) false [2018-08-25 15:01:38] local.INFO: Actual $request->id = 3
So, the $request->id has a value but all checkf return false.
What am i doing wrong?

Hi crnKovic,
My mistake, i am passing a parameter as {id} in my route, not as a post parameter.
The thing i now don't understand is that $request->id still had the correct value if the route parameter existed.
Do you know if this is expected behaviour?

Is this coming from a form, if so can you show.
Usually parameters are just that, parameters.

Hi Jlrdw,
I found my error. I am passing an id via my route. I have two routes:
Route::get('/backoffice/contracts/offers', 'ContractController@offers'); Route::get('/backoffice/contracts/offers/{id}', 'ContractController@offers');
if an id is passed to my controller i query for the id rows, if no id is passed to my controller i query all rows. So i wanted to know if the id existed and i was using $request->id but i have to check if request()->route('id') exists.
Now it works as intended.
