Laravel Session Missing after Page Refresh
Solution 1
->with
flashes data to the session for that page load only. If you want to keep an item in the session use Session::put('key', 'value')
. So for your example:
if($attempt) {
Session::put('usersess', Input::get('username'));
return Redirect::to('index')->with('message', 'Anda telah login!' . $attempt);
}
EDIT
You can use Session::get('key')
to retrieve a value or Session::pull('key')
which returns the value and forgets the value. You can also use Session::forget('key')
to remove an item. Session::flush()
clears everything from the session.
The session docs can be found here
Solution 2
This problem is happening for me when I am using
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;
Instead of it you can use
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Session;
And:
//to set a session variable use
$session = new Session();
$session->set('variableName', $requestData['key']);
//to get that session variable
$session = new Session();
$session->get('variableName');

I wanted to contribute to this since I ran into the same issue, but my solution was different than the one up-voted.
After putting items into my session, they were seemingly disappearing on the next page load.
The way I was doing this was via an AJAX call. Whenever I do an AJAX call, I always use an exit
at the end, to prevent any unnecessary page processing. What I found is that this exit
was preventing Laravel from proceeding further and actually writing that data into the permanent session.

This is obviously not your issue but for anyone else who found this question and the accepted answer does not solve your issue this might:
If you are storing your laravel session in the database there is a limit on how large that session value can be. The Laravel session migration has a field called "payload" that is a text type. If you exceed the limit on that field the entire session gets killed off. This was happening to me as I was dynamically adding json model data to my session.
Schema::create('sessions', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->string('id')->unique();
$table->text('payload');
$table->integer('last_activity');
});

I have a little problem about sessions in Laravel.
I have made the authentication function which like this:
public function postSignin(){ $attempt = Auth::attempt(array('username' => Input::get('username'), 'password' => Input::get('password'))); if ($attempt) { return Redirect::to('index')->with('message', 'Anda telah login!' . $attempt) ->with('usersess', Input::get('username')); } else if(!$attempt){ return Redirect::to('auth') ->with('message', 'Kombinasi email/password salah ' . $attempt) ->withInput(); } }
let see i have send the 'usersess' var into session which i consume in my header blade like this:
{{ Session::get('usersess') }}
and place it in the header.BUT the problem is when i refresh the PAGE, the session is missing! Is there any clue, how to get it back without the session is missing?
i have learn about php and using
<?php session_start() ?>
is the basic function, but how it works in laravel?thank you!
UPDATE my session.php configuration
