Question

I have a basic form where i would like to extract the user input and then display the concatenated inputs from the form

echo Form::open('url_encoder','GET');
echo Form::token();
echo Form::text('dest', null, array('class' => 'span3', 'placeholder' => 'Destination...'));
echo "<br>";
echo Form::text('utm_source', null, array('class' => 'span3', 'placeholder' => 'Source...'));
echo "<br>";    
echo Form::text('utm_content', null, array('class' => 'span3', 'placeholder' => 'Content...'));
echo "<br>";
echo Form::text('utm_medium', null, array('class' => 'span3', 'placeholder' => 'Medium...'));
echo "<br>";
echo Form::text('utm_campaign', null, array('class' => 'span3', 'placeholder' => 'Campaign...'));   
echo "<br>";
echo Form::submit('Encode');    
echo Form::close();

I would like to add something after this to concatenate the input. In Laravel my previous way of doing this does not work. I was setting variables that that would use $_GET to grab the form input. Then I would call the variables and concatenate the variables together (ie. echo "$var1" . "$var2" . "$var3").

Can someone suggest how this would be done in Laravel?

Use the Input class

echo Input::get();
