Did you put your routes inside the web middleware group, which is responsible for booting up your session?
Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
// Put routes in here
});

I'm trying to use session to give a variable : $sessionToken to all my controllers but it doesn't work.
I'm using Lavavel 5.2.
I checked session.php I have :
'driver' => env('SESSION_DRIVER', 'file'),
'lifetime' => 120,
'expire_on_close' => false,
I get this session token in LogController so I make :
Session::put('SessionToken', $sessionToken);
The view associated return me well the session token by 2 ways:
In the controller by :
return view('myView') -> with('retour', $sessionToken);
Directly in the view by :
My token : {{ Session::get('SessionToken') }}
But when I try to get this session token in an other controller or view, Session::get('SessionToken') is null.
I tried with session.php :
'driver' => env ('SESSION_DRIVER', 'cookie'),
but the same result.
I'm working on Cloud9 ( http://c9.io ) environnement, do you think it's the reason ?
