title: laravel - use Request class or input class
body: <p>In a  restful controller, which class should I use to get passed variables?</p>
  
  <pre><code>$member-&gt;email = Input::get('email');
  // or
  $member-&gt;email = Request::get('email');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>both options work for me, but whats the difference?</p>
