How to replace specific key in a session array?

Hello,

I set a session in the following way:

$key = 'my_session_key';
$session_data = ['value1' => 'data', 'value2' => 'some_other_data'];
session([$key => $session_data]);

But then I need to update only one of the keys, for example value2, how can I do that? the following doesn't work:

session()->put($key['value2'], 'new data');

Thanks

To replace a specific key in a session array, you can retrieve the session data, modify the specific key, and then store the modified data back into the session. Here's an example:

$key = 'my_session_key';
$session_data = session($key);
$session_data['value2'] = 'new data';
session([$key => $session_data]);

In this example, we first retrieve the session data using the $key variable. We then modify the value2 key to contain the new data. Finally, we store the modified data back into the session using the session() helper function.
