检查POST数据是否已发送到页面

Question

I am trying to check if POST data has been sent to a page. A quick Google search turned up nothing.

if(postdataisSent)
{
    //do this
}
else
$items = Gamefarm::where('roost_hen', '=', 1)->paginate(6);
return View::make('gamefarms/index',compact('items'));

You can use if ( Input::has('parameter') ) to check for the existence of a certain parameter in the POST, or you can pass a default into the function, and then test if it's there.

$parameter = Input::get('parameter', false);
if ($parameter)
{
    // do something with the data
}
else
{
    // it's not present in the POST
}

To check for the presence of any data at all:

$data = Input::all();
if (count($data) > 0)
{
    // there is data in the POST
}
else
{
    // there is no data in the POST
}

Note - You can access the data from any HTTP verb (GET, POST etc) using the same Input::get('data')
