Answer 1

I have recently solved this issue.

If you are trying to save array in session or if you want to push data into the session this try following.

Solution:

First go to Kernel.php into the "App\Http\Kernel.php" and add this line \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class, into the $middleware array. This will start storing the data.

For session array

Session::push('cart', $product);

---

For Single value

Replace session_key with the variable you want.

Session::put('session_key');

Answer 2

You should remove web middleware from routes to fix the problem with sessions.

Also correct syntax for persisting data is:

session(['key' => $data]);

To get data use:

session('key');
