submitting a form in Laravel

I have created a very simple form in laravel..

<?php
    echo Form::selectRange('number', 2, 12);
    echo Form::submit('Click Me!');
?>

However, at this time I am unclear of how to send the selected value of the DDL to the server to perform a task depending on which value is selected. For example, if 3 is selected it would send you to a specific view that would be different than if 4, 5, or 6 was selected. I checked out the documentation and couldn't find the direction I should go.

I believe that if you see the posted data, you'll see a field number with the value selected in the input. In laravel you access to such variables as

$number = Input::get('number');
...

Hope it helps!

EDIT You also need to open and close the form:

{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'foo/bar')) }}
    {{ Form::selectRange('number', 2, 12) }}
    {{ Form::submit('Click Me!') }}
{{ Form::close() }}

EDIT2 Your routes.php should have something like this:

Route::post('foo/bar', function()
{
    $number = Input::get('number');
    .....
});
