title: Laravel 5 get select option value
body: <p>in my create function, I do</p>
  
  <pre><code>$clients = Client::lists('clientName');
  return View::make('projects.create', compact('clients'));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my View, I then populate the select by doing this</p>
  
  <pre><code> {!! Form::select('clientName', $clients, Input::old('clients'), ['class' =&gt; 'form-control']) !!}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I view the html, I see something like the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select name="clientName" id="clientName" class="form-control"&gt;
      &lt;option value="0"&gt;John Dandy&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now in my store function, I need to get the value John Dandy, not 0.  If I do</p>
  
  <pre><code>$clientName = Input::get('clientName');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get 0.  How can I set the value to the clientName or get the option in my store function?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
