Laravel 5 TokenMismatchException on PHP 5.6.9

Question

Post requests work fine running Laravel 5 app on PHP 5.4. Post requests on the same app running on PHP 5.6.9 generate:

TokenMismatchException VerifyCsrfToken.php on line 46

This happens on every post request on both WAMP and IIS. Happens using database sessions and file sessions. Did a full reinstall and also tried all suggestions made here: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/keep-getting-tokenmismatchexception-verifycsrftokenphp-on-line-46?page=2. Folks are disabling the Csrf middleware as a fix, but that is not a viable solution. Any help appreciated.

Solution

When I realized this was only happening in IE and Chrome, but not Firefox, it led me to the fix. The app was using AddThis share buttons and the javascript was adding an iframe to the pages. This issue is resolved by adding a P3P header to the VerifyCsrfToken Middleware. Hope this saves somebody the hours I lost.

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        $response = $next($request);

        if (last(explode('\\',get_class($response))) != 'RedirectResponse') {
            $response->header('P3P', 'CP="IDC DSP COR ADM DEVi TAIi PSA PSD IVAi IVDi CONi HIS OUR IND CNT"');
        }

        return $response;
    }

this could be oneline with jquery

yes it could, something like $.ajaxSetup({ headers: { 'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf_token"]').attr('content') } });

This is the only solution which works in the ocean of ridiculous "add csrf_field" answers on the net. Thanks you very much for your working solution.

Finally an answer that works! Thank you! I have no idea why this works, but it does the trick not only on Chrome, but Firefox, too.
