Laravel 5 getting ID from URL - php

Question

I have a table view in which I can click an button icon and redirect to another page carrying the id of the row that has been clicked.
#foreach ($patients as $patient)
<tr>
<td>{{ $patient->pID }}</td>
<td>{{ $patient->pName }}</td>
<td>{{ $patient->pAddress }}</td>
<td>{{ $patient->pBday }}</td>
<td>{{ $patient->pPhone}}</td>
<td>{{ $patient->pEcon }}</td>
<td>{{ $patient->pDreg }}</td>
<td></td>
<td>
<a href="{{ URL::to('visit/'.$patient->pID) }}">
<img src="../images/viewvisit.png" style="width:30px; height:30px;">
</a>
</td>
<td>
<a href="{{ URL::to('addeditvisit/'.$patient->pID) }}">
<img src="../images/visit.png" style="width:30px; height:30px;">
</a>
</td>
<td>
<a href="{{ URL::to('editpatient/'.$patient->pID) }}">
<img src="../images/update.png" style="width:30px; height:30px;">
</a>
</td>
<td>
<a href="{{ URL::to('deletepatient/'.$patient->pID) }}">
<img src="../images/delete.png" style="width:30px; height:30px;">
</a>
</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
what I want is to get the id from the URL and put it in a variable so that I can utilize it my other page.
I'm currently stuck with this controller function.
public function index(Request $request) {
$doctors = Doctor::where('dStatus', 0)
->lists('dName', 'dID');
$beds = Bed::where('bStatus', 0)
->lists('bName', 'bID');
$patient = Patient::patient();
// $uri = $request->path('patient');
return View::make('pages.addeditvisit', [
'doctors'=>$doctors,
'beds'=>$beds,
'patient'=>$patient->pID
]);
}

Answer 1

This is late. But for the benefit of others like me;
If you do not have to do it in a method like the answers above have shown, As of Laravel 5.0 (Not sure about previous versions), you can do
$request->route('id');
That returns the value of the id parameter on the route.

Answer 2

Or just use it within Blade: {{ request()->route('id') }}

Answer 3

Basically when you are defining the routes, you use something called route parameters, something like this
Route::get('/visit/{id}', 'Controller#someMethod');
This id will be available as a parameter in your handler funtion,
public function someMethod($id) {
// you have the id here
}

Answer 4

Simple example:
as link=> example.com/user/1
as rout=> Route::get('user/{id}', 'UserController#user');
as UserController function
public function user($id){
echo $id;
}
output => 1

Answer 5

The trick is to declare the url's structure at routes including the id, for example:
// {{ URL::to('editpatient/'.$patient->pID) }}
Route::get('editpatient/{patientId}', 'MyController#index');
Then, just inject the id in the controller's function:
public function index($patientId){
// $patientId is the variable from url
}

Answer 6

Please refer to the answered question for how to get a parameter from a route. But if you stumbled on this old Laravel thread looking for how to retrieve a model by its ID, the simplest way is to instantiate the model in the controller's request parameter:
Route::get('/retrieve_product/{product}', 'SearchController#getProduct');
Then over in your controller, you simply need:
use App\Product;
class SearchController extends Controller
{
public function getProduct( Product $product ) {
return $product;
}
}
That's it. No find, no where, no get, no first etc.
So, in this example, if you visit /retrieve_product/1 the first product is returned to you.

Answer 7

Route::get('post/user/{id}','ProductController#allpost')->where('id', '[0-9]+');
Controller
public function allpost($id)
{
$products = Product::where('uploadby', $id)->orderBy('created_at','desc')->paginate(5); <br>
return view('product.user_product')->with('products', $products);
}
