How to get Route URL param in Controller | Laravel

Question

I have the following route:

Route::get('/category/{category}/keyword/{keyword}', 'CategoryController@search');

In my controller I am trying to retrieve both the URL params using the following code:

public function search(Request $request)
{
    $request->all();
    ...
}

The above code doesn't return the value of parameters.

If I call the following code, I get the value:

$request->category

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

You're not doing anything wrong. $request->all() will return an array of form-data (POST) — Jono20201

Try this:

 public function search($category, $keyword)

or this:

 public function search(Request $request, $category, $keyword)

If you need the Request object.

The route parameters are injected in the funcion call, they are not in the request inputs.

I think anything dependancy injected (like the Request) has to be after any segment variables. public function search($category, $keyword, Request $request)

For me its working with injected Request in first position

Also the laravel docs put the injected Request in first position with route parameters, see here at the paragraph "Dependency Injection & Route Parameters": laravel.com/docs/5.4/requests
