you missed $request->request->all('tags') :)

@ro0NL oh, is that a thing? I was just looking here:

and it didn't seem like it would take a parameter

@ro0NL nevermind, found it. Right below the functions I added actually :-)

So yeah, that takes care of my problem then. I still think getArray and getString would be more explicit & discoverable, but well, no strong opinion.

i think the ship has sailed. InputBag is already part of a stable release.

adding getString/getArray now is just introducing more ways to do the same.

alright, closing then

getString($k) -> use get($)
getArray($k) -> use all($k) (not the variant mentioned in the description)

@nicolas-grekas yes, I know (now). I still find it confusing because it doesn't behave at all like you would expect from a child class of ParameterBag. all takes a parameter in the child class that will (contrary to what the function's name suggests) make it not return all the bag's contents, but only the raw value of one key, if that value is an array.

At the same time get suddenly can't be used to get an arbitrary value anymore, you have to know that the value is a string. And in a third party lib, you'll need some compat wrapper if you want to support 4.4 and 5.1
