Python has a nice built-in function named locals() which returns a dictionary of local symbol table. This makes it easy to pass local variables to views in a single move.

I was wondering if PHP has such nice feature. I searched PHP's documentation and found this familiar built-in function: get_defined_vars()

get_defind_vars() Returns an array of all defined variables within the current scope.

Since PHP 5.0.0, the $GLOBALS variable is included in the results of the array returned.

You can use get_defind_vars() in a controller,closure or anywhere else you need:

#Laravel Menu: Bootstrap Navbar

It is possible to create multiple menu instances in a single navbar. I'm going to use Bootstrap default navbar for this demonstration:

First of all we create our menu objects in app/routes.php or app/start/global.php or any other place you desire as long as it is auto loaded when a request hits your application.
