Not sure but I'm guessing the StartSession middleware hasn't booted before you're trying to use your Language middleware.

SESSION DOESN'T WORK IN MIDDLEWARE
Hello again,
I Have an issue, that session doesnt work in middleware in my laravel project.
Language Middleware handle:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Routing\Redirector;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Session;
class Language {
public function __construct(Application $app, Redirector $redirector, Request $request) {
$this->app = $app;
$this->redirector = $redirector;
$this->request = $request;
}
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure $next
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next) {
// Make sure current locale exists.
if (Session::has('lang')) :
$locale = Session::get('lang');
else :
$locale = $this->app->config->get('app.fallback_locale');
endif;
$this->app->setLocale($locale);
return $next($request);
}
}
Kernel.php:
<?php
namespace App\Http;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Kernel as HttpKernel;
class Kernel extends HttpKernel
{
/**
* The application's global HTTP middleware stack.
*
* These middleware are run during every request to your application.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $middleware = [
\App\Http\Middleware\Language::class,
\Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode::class
];
/**
* The application's route middleware groups.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
],
'api' => [
'throttle:60,1',
],
];
/**
* The application's route middleware.
*
* These middleware may be assigned to groups or used individually.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $routeMiddleware = [
'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
'can' => \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\Authorize::class,
'guest' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
'guardian' => \App\Http\Middleware\Guardian::class,
'activeUser' => \App\Http\Middleware\ActiveUser::class
];
}
Any ideas?

Thank you Dude :):). It's works for me by putting '\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class," top of the "middlewaregroup" and "middleware web".

This should work:
'web' => [
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\Language::class,
],

You could also try:
$request->session()->get('lang');

With Laravel 11, you how do you manipulate Middleware order since it have been moved out of the kernel.php file and buried in the vendor structure?
Level 122
@thewruck You can append the middleware

@Snapey thank you for your feedback noting that i did check the solution but still not working below you can find 2 files
1- app.php file located in bootstrap
<?php
use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Exceptions;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware;
use Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession;
use App\Http\Middleware\CommonData;
return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
->withRouting(
web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',
commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
health: '/up',
)
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
$middleware->append(StartSession::class);
$middleware->append(CommonData::class);
})
->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
//
})->create();
2-custom middleware that i create it ( CommonData.php classs )
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use App\Models\Tuning;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\App;
class CommonData
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response) $next
*/
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next): Response
{
/* Set Default iso */
if ( ! session()->has('iso')) session(['iso' => 'en']);
App::setLocale(session ('iso'));
$tuning=Tuning::findOrFail(1);
view()->share('tuning', $tuning);
return $next($request);
}
}
my problem still exist which is: ! session()->has('iso') always true means session in CommonData middleware is not working because session has iso value
appreciate your support

@aminsbeity Why don't you start your own question and describe your issue fully?
You don't need to mess with StartSession middleware, it is already applied to all web routes.
You can list all middleware and I think, in the order they are applied, by the following command
php artisan -vv route:list
for example;
GET|HEAD dashboard .............................................................................................. dashboard
⇂ Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies
⇂ Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse
⇂ Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession
⇂ Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession
⇂ Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ValidateCsrfToken
⇂ Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authenticate
⇂ Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings
⇂ Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\EnsureEmailIsVerified
check that your middleware appears AFTER start session

@Snapey my issue is that ! session()->has('iso') always true in CommonData middleware. i did follow your feedback and below you can find 2 files
1- app.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Exceptions;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware;
use App\Http\Middleware\CommonData;
return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
->withRouting(
web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',
commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
health: '/up',
)
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
$middleware->append(CommonData::class);
})
->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
//
})->create();
2: CommonData middleware
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use App\Models\Tuning;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\App;
class CommonData
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response) $next
*/
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next): Response
{
/* Set Default iso */
if ( ! session()->has('iso')) session(['iso' => 'en']);
App::setLocale(session ('iso'));
$tuning=Tuning::findOrFail(1);
view()->share('tuning', $tuning);
return $next($request);
}
}
3: php artisan -vv route:list
GET|HEAD / ...................
⇂ web
GET|HEAD about ...........................
⇂ web
GET|HEAD apartment ..........................

@aminsbeity try using my suggestion
Thats not the output using -vv

I encountered the same issue. The solution was to replace:
$middleware->append(MyCustomMiddleware::class);
with:
$middleware->appendToGroup('web', MyCustomMiddleware::class);
in the bootstrap/app.php file.
It's unfortunate that the official Laravel 12 documentation doesn't highlight this nuance in the "Registering Middleware" → "Global Middleware" section (https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/middleware#global-middleware), where it suggests using the append method.
