Sending variable through href - php

Question

I am trying to pass a variable through an href url on my View, and have the Controller function query based on those variables. Here is code to get a better idea.
#foreach ($totalCount as $id => $name) {{-- id is the admin id --}}
<?php
$admin_id = $id;
?>
#foreach($name as $n => $status) {{-- $n is the name, $status is array of the counts --}}
<tr>
<td>
{{$n}}
<br>
Closed
</td>
<td>{{ isset($status[2]) ? $status[2] : 0 }}</td>
<td>{{ isset($status[1]) ? $status[1] : 0 }}</td>
<td>{{ isset($status[3]) ? $status[3] : 0 }}</td>
<td>{{ isset($status[4]) ? $status[4] : 0 }}</td>
<td>{{ isset($status[5]) ? $status[5] : 0 }}</td>
<td>{{ isset($status[6]) ? $status[6] : 0 }}</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
#endforeach
As you can see, I am getting that $id from my data structure and inputting it into $admin_id so I can use it. I take that admin id and place it into the href url so my controller can work with it and query properly.
Here is code from my controller:
public function index()
{
$query = AdvertiserApplication::with('admin');
$status = Input::get('status');
$id = Input::get('admin_id');
dd($id);
if(!empty($id)) {
$query->where('assigned_to', '=', $id);
}
if (!empty($status) || $status === '0')
$query->where('staus', '=', $status);
$applications = $query->get();
return View::make('admin.advertisers.application_list', ['applications' => $applications, 'admin_id' => AuthAdmin::admin(false)]);
}
What I am doing here is querying the whole table if $id and $status empty. (By the way status comes from a drop down table on the application list View.) The problem I am having is that the $id input is not working, it is coming in NULL. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Should be
Input::get('id');
Instead of
Input::get('admin_id');

Answer 2

You have to add $id as parameter of index function.
When variable is sent through href it is not element of GET/POST array.
So your function will lool like this:
public function index($id)
{
$query = AdvertiserApplication::with('admin');
$status = Input::get('status');
// $id = Input::get('admin_id');
// dd($id);
if(!empty($id)) {
$query->where('assigned_to', '=', $id);
}
if (!empty($status) || $status === '0')
$query->where('staus', '=', $status);
$applications = $query->get();
return View::make('admin.advertisers.application_list', ['applications' => $applications, 'admin_id' => AuthAdmin::admin(false)]);
}
