I have also have many fields on my page , when the request params comes to browser the submit button value is not coming in request
Any ideas ?

Answer 1

Inside your controller function try this:
Input::get('hostel1', 'NA');
// It will return its value ie `The Venetian` otherwise `NA`
Note: The second parameter of Input::get() is the default value.

only one input value get following
$name = $request->input('name');
Retrieving All Input Data
$input = $request->all();

Answer 3

Note: The easiest way to debug this, is via the Network tab in google chrome. You can see the header response data.
But the reason this is not working is probably because you are doing a POST Request . If you do a GET request you will get the value of the button.
An other reason could be that you are doing the submit trough javascript and doing an e.preventDefault() in that case you are not really sending the request. so PHP doesn't get the value.

Answer 4

Do
$request->hostel1
When you want to dd() your input params, do
dd($request->all());

Answer 5

I realized that anytime I try to set a name and value to a "submit" button, laravel doesn't retrieve the values in the request. So you might want to use a hidden field like this:
<input type="hidden" name="hostel1" value="hostel1">
and retrieve it on the server side like this:
$request->hostel1;

Answer 6

Change button code to:
<input name="hostel1" value="The Venetian" type="hidden">
<button class="submitBTN addnowBtn" type="submit"> Add Now</button>
In the controller, use this to get the value:
$request->hostel1

Answer 7

By using request namespace you can get value of any input parameters and also same for the submit button.
For this you have to include Request in controller like:
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class UserController extends Controller
{
/**
* Store a new user.
*
* #param Request $request
* #return Response
*/
public function store(Request $request)
{
$name = $request->input('name');
//IN your problem you can submit button value as
$submit_button = $request->input('hostel1');
}
}
