Laravel Session Missing after Page Refresh

Question

I have a little problem about sessions in Laravel. I have made the authentication function which like this: ``` public function postSignin(){ $attempt = Auth::attempt(array('username' => Input::get('username'), 'password' => Input::get('password'))); if ($attempt) { return Redirect::to('index')->with('message', 'Anda telah login!' . $attempt) ->with('usersess', Input::get('username')); } else if(!$attempt){ return Redirect::to('auth') ->with('message', 'Kombinasi email/password salah ' . $attempt) ->withInput(); } } ``` let see i have send the 'usersess' var into session which i consume in my header blade like this: `{{ Session::get('usersess') }}` and place it in the header.

Accepted Answer

`->with` flashes data to the session for that page load only. If you want to keep an item in the session use `Session::put('key', 'value')`. So for your example:

```
if($attempt) {
    Session::put('usersess', Input::get('username'));
    return Redirect::to('index')->with('message', 'Anda telah login!' . $attempt);
}
```

EDIT

You can use `Session::get('key')` to retrieve a value or `Session::pull('key')` which returns the value and forgets the value. You can also use `Session::forget('key')` to remove an item. `Session::flush()` clears everything from the session.
