Laravel Passing Variables to Controller

Question

I have a post route set up like this:

Route::post('/product/dashboard', function()
    {
        $from = Input::get('from');
        $to = Input::get('to');

    });

And now I would like to pass those to a controller.

I call controllers like this normally:

Route::get('/', 'HomeController@showWelcome');

How would I go on to that with variables?

so basically, after submit you redirect to the homepage and want to pass the variables without saving it to the database? then you can do it with sessions or flash variables — reikyoushin

Why not access the Input variables from within the controller?

Route::post('product/dashboard', 'HomeController@showDashboard');

and in the controller...

function showDashboard() {
   $from = Input::get('from');
   $to = Input::get('to');

   // do more stuff
}
