I have created a very simple form in laravel..
<?php echo Form::selectRange('number', 2, 12); echo Form::submit('Click Me!'); ?> However, at this time I am unclear of how to send the selected value of the DDL to the server to perform a task depending on which value is selected. For example, if 3 is selected it would send you to a specific view that would be different than if 4, 5, or 6 was selected. I checked out the documentation and couldn't find the direction I should go.
I believe that if you see the posted data, you'll see a field number with the value selected in the input. In laravel you access to such variables as
$number = Input::get('number'); ... Hope it helps!
EDIT You also need to open and close the form:
{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'foo/bar')) }} {{ Form::selectRange('number', 2, 12) }} {{ Form::submit('Click Me!') }} {{ Form::close() }} EDIT2 Your routes.php should have something like this:
Route::post('foo/bar', function() { $number = Input::get('number'); ..... }); 
$number = Input::get('number'); then echo $number; There is no output in my HTML. From everything I am looking at, maybe I need to create a controller to handle the logic?<?php Form::open(array('url' => 'foo/bar')); Form::selectRange('number', 2, 12); Form::submit('Click Me!'); Form::close(); $number = Input::get('number'); echo $number; ?> The form no longer shows on the page, any idea why?
$number = Input::get('number'); code must be inside a function handling the POST request (when you submit the form). Look at my second edit
