I have upgraded from 5.2 to laravel 8. I have a custom checkout and products are saved in a session key and value as an array, but this is getting cleared in between and not on a particular point, sometimes it is working and sometimes not. i have used session->save() in 5.2 this i have removed and also used ["middleware" =>"web"] for some of the routes but now i have removed this as well still it is not working properly, it is not breaking at one point so there is no sense in sharing my script also. Please help
If you just put anything in a session, like hi there.
Then load several of the pages at random.
Then try to Echo that session value out, does it persist.
That's been quite a few versions update I can't really recall if there was something involving sessions, but double check through the upgrade guides.
I have already tried as you said sometimes it is there and sometimes it not, my question is some of the request are From Requests $request instances, does it make any difference? And in some places i use session()->put, session()->get etc where we don't have $request, in latest versions this has changed? i couldn't find anything in doc. So my doubt is something like this, $request->session()->get('key') and session('key') these two only work? in laravel >5.2 and "session()->get('key')" do not work in laravel >5.2?
I would install Laravel Debugbar then you can review whats in session at any point.
