+--- Thread: Session start is deleting my data (/showthread.php?tid=67664)
Session start is deleting my data - genesispro - 03-22-2017
in order to add an item to the session I am using
session()->start();
and then
session()->set('foo', 'bar');
and the data is stored in the db
but when I what to read the session items when I do a
session()->get();
it is empty but I can see the "foo" item in the database
the moment I do a
session()->start();
all data gets overwritten
how can I read the session data without running the start() function that clears my old data?
and how do I store a new item in the session without using start() because then I loose again the session items!
Thank you in advance
