Laravel change input value

Question

In laravel, we can get the input value via Input::get('inputname'). I try to change the value by doing this Input::get('inputname') = "new value";. But then, I get the error message saying Can't use function return value in write context.

Is it possible for us change the input value so that when later calling on Input::get('inputname') will get the new amended value?

Thanks.

You can use Input::merge() to replace single items.

Input::merge(['inputname' => 'new value']); 

Or use Input::replace() to replace the entire input array.

Input::replace(['inputname' => 'new value']);
