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     {         Session::flash('error_message','');     } } 

Is there a method in Laravel to check if the request is POST or GET?

Answer 1

According to Laravels docs, there's a Request method to check it, so you could just do:

$method = Request::method(); 

or

if (Request::isMethod('post')) { //  }
