Check if request is GET or POST

Question

In my controller/action:

if(!empty($_POST))
{
    if(Auth::attempt(Input::get(\'data\')))
    {
        return Redirect::intended();
    }
    else
    {
                


        

Answer 1

Of course there is a method to find out the type of the request, But instead you should define a route that handles POST requests, thus you don't need a conditional statement.

routes.php

Route::post('url', YourController@yourPostMethod);

inside you controller/action

if(Auth::attempt(Input::get('data')))
{
   return Redirect::intended();
}
//You don't need else since you return.
Session::flash('error_message','');

The same goes for GET request.

Route::get('url', YourController@yourGetMethod);
