Accessing parameters in Request

I have a question about obtaining parameters from Request object.

What is the difference between

$name = $request->name;

OR

$name = $request->input("name");

They show the same behavior. I am asking that from the typing perspective, it is faster to utilize #1 method. But I don't know the difference. Is #1 prone to SQL injections?
