How do I post url $_GET['params'] when submitting form?

Question

I do this in my routes to check if $_GET exists

Route::get('/register', function(){
    if(isset($_GET['code'])){
        $referral = $_GET['code'];
    };

    return Response::view('user.register');
    }
);

Then in my view I do this

<div style='display:none'>
  <?php if (isset($referral)){ ?>
    {!! Form::hidden('referral', <?php $referral ?>) !!}
  <?php } ?>
</div>

But when I submit the form it doesn't show up.

Also I had to use display none because {!! Form::hidden etc...!!} actually shows up on the ui.

Relevant doc on Laravel requests input

Route::get('/register', function(\Illuminate\Http\Request $request){
    if ($request->has('code')) {
        $referral = $request->input('code');
    }

    // I imagine you actually send $referral to the view here...
    return Response::view('user.register');
    }
);

In view:

@if (isset($referral))
    {!! Form::hidden('referral', $referral) !!}
@endif

When a form is submitted, its data is usually sent by POST, not GET. Using the Request methods abstracts that away and is much better than using the raw PHP array.
