There might be a better way, but you could write it to the config:
config(['key' => $whatEverYouWantToCache]);
And when you need it you retrieve it from the config. On the next request it should be history ...

Caching an item for current request. Not using session
I swear I read this in the docs once but I can no longer find it in the 5.5. documentation but I need to cache an item or a few items for the current request only but I cannot use Session. Is there a better way to do this I'm currently using Cache::remember with a 1 minute cache time... Thanks!

Will that work for any variable type or only scalars ?

That works with objects like an Eloquent instance, arrays, ... whatever you throw at it, no problems.

the config is just a big array under the hood with all config settings from all config files, so you can put anything in there that you normally could put in an array, which is just about anything.

Old thread, but if anyone else is still looking, the $GLOBALS array works fine for this type of caching. Ex:
function get_query_value() {
$key = "key_temp_cache";
$GLOBALS[$key] = $GLOBALS[$key] ?? \Auth::user()->posts()->get();
return $GLOBALS[$key];
}

You can use array driver for caching. It will live as long as the current request (current process to be precise, but in case of php it's almost the same)
Cache::driver('array')->rememberForever('key', function() { return 'value'; });

I know, I am late to the party, but since I came across this post searching for a solution: There is a build in pretty one (since I think L11):

As of Laravel 12 you can use cache memoization which stores resolved values during a single request:
