Setting session not working

        
       $variationId = session('variationId');
      
        if (!$variationId) { 
           session(['variationId', rand[0,1]);
       }

I'm setting up some server side A/B testing with google optimise. So need to set a session variation value if it doesn't exist, or retrieve it when it does.

The above doesn't work though. It keeps randomising it every time I refresh the page.

I can't workout from the docs whether using the session helper is the same syntax as using $request->session and then adding has or pull or get etc?

Try this

$variationId = session()->get('variationId');
if (!session()->has('variationId')) {
	session()->put('variationId', rand([0,1]));
}
