Your script will continue to increment because of:
dd('added count');
.. that kills the process and so:
Session::put('id', $id);
is never run.
Try commenting out the dd() line and see if that works.

Session question laravel
Why is my view count still increments even though I have session putted?
- what is wrong with my code?
- is this an error within laravel?
if(! ( Session::get($id) == $id)){
Post::where('id', $id)->increment('view_count');
dd('added count');
Session::put('id', $id);
}
- The id is the blog->id

@MartinDevNow still does the same I even tried putting the Session::put in the top.

Here is the problem Session::get($id). When you put in the session Session::put('id', $id); this actually means that you store some value $id by key = 'id'. To get this data back you need to use the key 'id' ... Session::get('id');
Your code trying to get some value from the Session by blog->id that stored in $id variable that some integer. Get you data back by key that you store it - 'id' (string), not blog->id (integer).

Code below must work how you expected.
if (Session::get('id') !== $id)) {
Post::where('id', $id)->increment('view_count');
Session::put('id', $id);
}
More explaining:
$id = 777; // Integer
Session::put('id', $id); // 'id' => 777
Session::get('id'); // you get your integer 777
Session::get($id); // in this case you get null, 777 => ?

@AlexanderZnaydyuk this worked but if a user switch between two blogs while refreshing those two blogs keeps updating the count.
