set var session in laravel through ajax call in javascript and get with another call the same var value

Question

The cache of laravel works for me but is the same values in different browsers.

I'm trying to set a session in laravel, and set session variable through ajax call, then in another ajax call get that session variable.

$.ajax({
 type: "post",
 url: url+'setdata',
 data: $('form#data').serialize(),
 dataType: "json",
 processData: false,
 async: false,
 success: function (data) {

  }
});


$.ajax({
 type: "post",
 url: url+'getdata,
 data: $('form#data').serialize(),
 dataType: "json",
 processData: false,
 async: false,
 success: function (data) {

  }
});

In the first ajax request, I call a function from one controller in laravel. This function performs:

Session::put('examplekey', 800);

In the second request, the controller function retrieves the session ID:

$var = Session::get('examplekey');
return array($var);

My problem is, in the second ajax call the session disappears. How can I can set the same session for the same user, in pure php with session_start();

I had the same problem and just found a potential solution:

I found a similar problem relating to laravel 3. For the session to persist in an ajax call you need to return the response correctly.

return json_encode($response);

This is causing the problem. It's not it appears a valid response to enable the session to persist. Change it to:

return Response::json($response);

This enables the session to persist!

For some reason a normal form submit or call to the method allows the first one but ajax does not.

I've seen references elsewhere about echo statements in the method affecting the session - the return I suppose must behaving similar to an echo

This is the post that triggered the solution: http://forumsarchive.laravel.io/viewtopic.php?id=1304
