Can't retrieve url GET parameters with Laravel 5.1on remote server

Question

For some reason I can't get any GET parameters from a url in my controllers using the Illuminate\Http\Request facade. I tested in multiple controllers, but no success.

Using the following code, nothing is returned on the remote server when accessing domain.com/admin/dashboard?test=test, but on my local machine it returns test:

The dashboard function is called by the route /admin/dashboard

/**
 * Dashboard page
 *
 * @return  view
 */
public function dashboard(Request $request)
{
    echo '<pre>';
    var_dump($request->all());
    echo '</pre>';

    // Return here
    return;

    // ...instead of here
    return view('backend::pages.dashboard');
}

I'm running Laravel 5.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS using Nginx and php5-fpm. The code works fine on my local Homestead instance as well as on MAMP. I checked my Nginx configuration and everything seems fine. I'm hosting multiple sites on my server and I can get route parameters on all other sites.

Facing the same problem. Did you get any proper solution? – Md. Mahmud Hasan Mar 02 '16 at 10:57 — Md. Mahmud Hasan, Mar 02 '16 at 10:57

If anyone runs into this, the problem was with how I set up Nginx for this particular domain.

This block in my /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default file didn't work with query strings:

location / {
    try_files       $uri $uri/ /index.php$query_string;
}

After changing it to the following, everything worked as it supposed to be:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}

Hope it helps someone.

Try to access it like this:

$var = Input::get('test');

Here is how to do it: Retrieving GET and POST data inside controller in Laravel 4 And also here: What's the best practice accessing $_GET values in Laravel?

Hope helps

I've tried this before but it doesn't work either since Input::get just maps to Request::get – noodles_ftw Aug 22 '15 at 09:10
Hmmm, and what is output of `Input::all()`? – user1870556 Aug 22 '15 at 09:27
Also, try this: `$segment = Request::segment(3);` – user1870556 Aug 22 '15 at 09:28
The same as $request->all() in my controller – noodles_ftw Aug 22 '15 at 09:28
i dont need a segment from the url. – noodles_ftw Aug 22 '15 at 09:28
Yeah, but you can get from this part of the url $_GET parametrs I think. – user1870556 Aug 22 '15 at 09:36
Anyway, its strange, because as is written for example there: [http://daylerees.com/codebright-request-data/](http://daylerees.com/codebright-request-data/) you are doing it right... – user1870556 Aug 22 '15 at 09:40
Yeah it really is strange, the only thing I can think of is that my Nginx isn't set up properly but I checked it a hundred times and it's all right. Other sites on the server work properly. – noodles_ftw Aug 22 '15 at 09:45
