Laravel 5 session array update

Question

I am having trouble while updating session array value in laravel 5. Here is my function,

public function postCartItemAdd()
{
    $id = Request::input('id');
    Session::push('items', $id);

    dd(Session::all());
}

Instead of pushing a new id into the array it just replaces the existing value leaving single item. Am I doing something wrong?

The problem is the session is saved as a flash data. So, you need to save the session whenever you push the data.

$request->session()->push('user.items', 'item1');
$request->session()->push('user.items', 'item2');
$request->session()->save();

or try this

$items = Session::pull('items');
$items[] = $id;
Session::push('items', $items);

umm i think you used it wrong,

see the DOC

it says

Session::push('user.teams', 'developers');

user is the array and we gonna put a value developers to that array with teams key

so then you need to use it in your case as,

Session::push('items.id', $id);

OR if you need to maintain items as an array with default keys like 0,1,2,3... to put the ids, then items should be an array

so there should be a something like,

Session::put('items', []);

then you can use Session::push('items', $id);

if you need to push ids in to same array as you tried.
