Error Non-static method Illuminate Http Request all should not be called statically assuming this from incompatible context

Question

In Laravel, I'm trying to call $input = Request::all(); on a store() method in my controller, but I'm getting the following error:

Non-static method Illuminate\Http\Request::all() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context

Any help?

Hello @kartik,

The error message is due to the call not going through the Request facade.

Change

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

To

use Request;

and it should start working.

In the config/app.php file, you can find a list of the class aliases. There, you will see that the base class Request has been aliased to the Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request class. Because of this, to use the Request facade in a namespaced file, you need to specify to use the base class: use Request;.

Hope it helps!!
Thank You!
