Difference between get() and all() in laravel

Question

What is difference between these two in laravel

$input = Input::get();

And

$input = Input::all();

And which one i should prefer.

Answer 1

Taken from the laravel source:

public static function all()
{
   $input = array_merge(static::get(), static::query(), static::file());
   // ....
   return $input;
}

So all() calls get() and returns it's contents along with query(), and file() the $_FILES superglobal.

Preference will obviously depend on circumstance. I personally choose to use Input::get($key, $default) as I usually know what I am after.
