add-remove input into laravel request object

add or remove field inputs to request object or get specific elements

To add new input :
$request->request->add(['key' => value]);
Ex: to add user id do the following:
$request->request->add(['user_id' => Auth::user()->id]);

$request->request->add(['key' => value]); 

Ex: to add user id do the following:

$request->request->add(['user_id' => Auth::user()->id]); 

$request->request->add(['user_id' => Auth::user()->id]); 

To remove input :

$request->except(['fieldnameYouDontWant1', 'fieldnameYouDontWant2', 'fieldnameYouDontWant3']);

Ex: to rempve the token:

$inputs = $request->except(['_token']); 

To get specific fields:

$request->only(['fieldname1', 'fieldname2', 'fieldname3']);

Another way is to merge new fields with the current request :

$request = request()->merge([

                'billDBID'    => $billDBID,

                'xmlBillInfo' => $xmlBillInfo,

                'XMLPhases'   => $XMLPhases,

                'updateType'  => 'automatic',

            ]);
