Laravel, getting specific array index from session

Question

Currently, I'm dumping an array that is held within my laravel session, which successfully dumps the array:

<?php dd(Session::get('Tokens'));?>

This dumps an array with three elements, each with its own index

array(
   "userToken":"value",
   "secondToken":"value",
   "thirdToken":"value",
);

I keep running into errors trying to get specifically the userToken. I've tried get('Tokens[userToken]') but It's expecting a string only

How should I change this to be able to access any array key specifically

You can use array dereferencing and add a required index directly to value, returned by Session::get('Tokens'):

echo Session::get('Tokens')['userToken'];

you can try this too

$value = session('Tokens');

and you can use $value like and array and you'll be able to call each value with the index like

$value['userToken']

hope it help
