Laravel 5 session not persisting after user is logged in

Question

I'm having an interesting issue with Laravel 5. After logging in a user, the logged in status is not persisted across pages. Clearly it has something to do with `Session::`. The way I'm logging in a user is pretty straight-forward: ``` if (Auth::attempt(['email' => $data['email'], 'password' => $data['password']], isset($data['remember_me']) ? TRUE : FALSE)) { return redirect()->intended('/'); } ``` A simple `print_r(Session::all());` gives me the following if the user is NOT logged in: ``` Array ( [_token] => wV8o75lZnCZ0f6CMMQgdBBM2AxSYjtWisAXx6TgZ [flash] => Array ( [old] => Array ( ) [new] => Array ( ) ) [_previous] => Array ( [url] => http://localhost/public ) ) ``` After the user is logged in an redirected to `/` the array looks like this: ``` Array ( [_token] => wV8o75lZnCZ0f6CMMQgdBBM2AxSYjtWisAXx6TgZ [flash] => Array ( [old] => Array ( ) [new] => Array ( ) ) [_previous] => Array ( [url] => http://localhost/public/ ) [login_82e5d2c56bdd0811318f0cf078b78bfc] => 2 ) ``` However,…

I faced similar issue, I simply called:

```
Session::save();
```

after any add/update/delete to Session storage. So it looked like:

```
$id = Input::get('id');
Session::forget('cart.' .$id);
Session::save();
```
