title: Laravel 5 - Storing in database
body: <p>I am fairly new to Laravel 5. I managed to populate forms from the database and update them and also store values in the database. </p>
  
  <p>Now I am trying to store values into the database without collecting them from a view type form. It is an internal value that I want to store. (Eg: a special id generated in the controller) Hence using 
      <code>Input::all()</code> 
  doesn't seem to work.
  Is there any other way to store such values in the database?  </p>
