Laravel how to test if a checkbox is checked in a controller

Question

I tried to get if checkbox is checked with:

In my view:

<form data-toggle="validator" data-disable="false" role="form" action="/admin/role/add" method="post">
   <div class="checkbox checkbox-success">
      <input name="test" id="test" type="checkbox" value="test">
      <label for="test" style="padding-left: 15px!important;">test</label>
   </div>
</form>
<form data-toggle="validator" data-disable="false" role="form" action="/admin/role/add" method="post">
   {{ csrf_field() }}
   <div class="form-group pull-right">
      <button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger">Submit</button>
   </div>
</form>

In my controller :

public function createRole(Request $request)
{
    if($request->has('test')) {
         new \App\Debug\Firephp('test', ['test' => true]);
    }
}

In my web.php:

Route::post('/admin/role/add', 'AdminController@createRole')

but doesn't work for some reason.

How i can do?

Thanks for reply.

EDIT 1 :

It was my form that was poorly build.

Checkbox sends info only when it's checked, so what you do is, you check, if the value is present. It's easier, if you use method with Request $request than using direct inputs:

if (isset($request->test)) {
    // checked
}
