In Laravel 8, $request->all() is not showing dynamic path parameters.

Steps to reproduce:

• Start a new Laravel project with composer, Laravel version 8.61.0.
• Define a route in routes/api.php as follows:

Route::get('/first/{first}/second/{second}', function (Request $request) {
    return $request->all();
});

• Run php artisan serve and direct the browser to http://localhost:8000/api/first/hello/second/world

• Expect something like the following response: {"first":"hello","second":"world"}. Instead we simply see [].

• Change the route to:

Route::get('/first/{first}/second/{second}', function (Request $request) {
    return [
        'first'=>$request->first,
        'second'=>$request->second,
    ];
});

• Then we see the expected {"first":"hello","second":"world"}

So...why isn't $request->all() giving me this response?

I looked at Laravel doc

Retrieving All Input Data

You may retrieve all of the incoming request's input data as an array using the all method. This method may be used regardless of whether the incoming request is from an HTML form or is an XHR request

Means $request->all() equal to $request->input('name', 'email', ....)

instead of $request->all() you can try this

Route::get('/first/{first}/second/{second}', function (Illuminate\Http\Request $request, $first, $second) {
  return [
      'first'=> $first,
      'second'=> $second,
  ];
});

UPDATE

You can do it too with (splat operator in PHP)

Route::get('/first/{first}/second/{second}', function (Illuminate\Http\Request $request, ...$all) {
  return $all;
});

// returns
[
  "hello",
  "world"
]

I hope this helped you,

Happy Coding.

Have you tried dd($request->all()) statement in Controller, not in closure. In previous Laravel version (version 5 or version 7), that state works in that versions.
