Generate Laravel URL using URI segments instead of query string

Question

I'm using the following code to generate a link:

{{ URL::route('monthly',array($year,$month_number)) }}

Which looks like

/monthly?1999&5

But what I really need is:

/monthly/1999/5

How should I accomplish this?

what does your route look like? it should look like Route::get('monthly/{year}/{month} ... — Adunahay

This should be handled automatically for you if you have a route that exists that matches Route::get('monthly/{year}/{month_number}') as the 2nd argument params should be applied into the constructor. Something else is going on here. — Ohgodwhy

You have to create a route to support those parameters:

Route::get('montly/{year}/{month_number}', 'ControllerName@show');

And your controller method:

public function show($year, $month_number)
{
    ...
}

Wow that did it! I wasn't thinking this would be an automatic thing.... bad assumption in Laravel. This is so convenient. Thanks!
