laravel variable not assigning to session

Question

I'm using laravel 5.5 and I have below code in my controller:

function booking(Request $request)
{
    parse_str($request->getContent(), $info);
    Session::put('quotation.flight.passengerDetails', $info);       
    return Session::get('quotation.flight.searchType');
}

This is what i have my route (web.php):

 Route::post('ajax/flight/booking', 'Flight\flightController@booking');

This is my ajax

$.ajax({
    url: flagsUrl + "ajax/flight/booking",
    type: 'POST',
    data: opts.bookingData,
    contentType: "json",
    success: function (view) {    
        opts.callback(view);    
    },
    error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
        opts.callback("");
    }    
});

When I call the route through ajax using POST, the $info doesn't assigning to the quotation.flight.passengerDetails session.

But it does work when I do a request using reply XHR in Chrome Developer Tools?

oh it's $info variable not assigning into 'quotation.flight.passengerDetails' session — Arosha De Silva

Where are you calling Session::save() on your execution plan? — Tschallacka

In theory it shouldn't be mandatory. In practice, I found it resolved a LOT of the issues I had with sessions in laravel. What I usually do is make sure that ad the end of my own personal flow I call a Session::save() before outputting to the browser. — Tschallacka

Try using Session::save() after you put() or push() variables in the session object.

Usually this makes sure that the save is called when not called by any other process.

Alternatively you can analyze your execution flow and add a Session::save() at the end of your output gathering, right before your script outputs to the user, whether it be ajax or html.

For example:

$kernel = $app->make('Illuminate\Contracts\Http\Kernel');
$response = $kernel->handle(
            $request = Illuminate\Http\Request::capture()
        );
\Session::save();
