title: Laravel form display value
body: <p>I'm quite new to Laravel and I'm trying to use its Form method. My form is working fine but there is 2 input field which can contain data from a previous form in the database.</p>
  
  <p>What I want to do is to show these previously set data in these fields as default but the user can overwrite them if he/she wants.</p>
  
  <p>I searched a lot and I may use the Form Model Binding but whatever I try it doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>Could anyone help me, please? Or maybe offer an other method? </p>
  
  <p>Here is my Form as it is now:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{{Form::open(array('url' =&gt; '','id' =&gt; 'formDummy','files' =&gt; true))}}
      &lt;table style="margin: 0 auto;" cellpadding="5"&gt;
          &lt;tr&gt;
              &lt;td&gt;Date:&lt;/td&gt;
              &lt;td&gt;{{Form::date('exgateDate', \Carbon\Carbon::now())}}&lt;/td&gt;
          &lt;/tr&gt;
          &lt;tr&gt;
              &lt;td&gt;Car:&lt;/td&gt;
              &lt;td&gt;{{Form::select('car',$car-&gt;pluck('name','id'),null,['placeholder' =&gt; '','id' =&gt; 'car', 'class' =&gt; 'ddl'])}}&lt;/td&gt;
          &lt;/tr&gt;
          &lt;tr&gt;
              &lt;td&gt;Number:&lt;/td&gt;
              &lt;td&gt;{{Form::text('Number','',array('id' =&gt; 'Number', 'class' =&gt; 'txt'))}}&lt;/td&gt;
          &lt;/tr&gt;
          &lt;tr&gt;
              &lt;td&gt;Files:&lt;/td&gt;
              &lt;td&gt;{{Form::file('dummyFile',array('multiple'=&gt;true,'id' =&gt; 'dummyFiles'))}}&lt;/td&gt;
          &lt;/tr&gt;
          &lt;tr&gt;
              &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;{{Form::button('Submit',array('id' =&gt; 'sendDummy'))}}&lt;/td&gt;
          &lt;/tr&gt;
      &lt;/table&gt;
  {{Form::close()}}
