How to set a session variable

Settings sessions

session(['key' => 'value']);
// Or
session()->put('key', 'value')

Getting a value from a session

$value = session()->get('key');
// Alternatively you can pass in a default value
$value = session()->get('key', 'default);

Deleting a session

session()->forget('key');

Source: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/session#basic-usage

For lazy man like me :

$value = session('key');

Showing a error - Undefined variable Session::put()

@gayathri Try \Session::put()

Import the session facade or use the syntax helmerdavila showed you

How to import Session facade @bobbybouwmann ??

use Session;

class SomeClass {
    Session::put('key', 'value', 'minutes');
}

There should be a way to access the native $_SESSION specially if you are sharing session with other applications that do not ship as Composer package or otherwise have no Facade support.

Anybody?

@bobbybouwmann What does the minutes do in Session::put('key', 'value', 'minutes')? I can't find anything about the third argument on Laravel documentation.

@DarkSpirit You can set the amount of the minutes the item needs to be cached

The minutes are optional, but you can set them in when you call put on the cache facade.

// Illuminate/Cache/Repository.php

/**
 * Store an item in the cache.
 *
 * @param  string  $key
 * @param  mixed   $value
 * @param  \DateTime|int  $minutes
 * @return void
 */
public function put($key, $value, $minutes = null)

And for the documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/cache#storing-items-in-the-cache

Can anyone say me where to write the session code? session(['key' => 'value']); please show me the full code.

In your controller or anywhere you want to store a session. You can also retrieve session's data in your blade by using session('key').

Hope this helps !

Put a value in session

session()->put('key', 'value');

Example:

session()->put('email', '[email protected]');

Get a value from session

$value = session()->get('key');

Example:

$email = session()->get('email');
