I am trying to store an array of values in a session variable.
So when I am trying to add a variable I simply do:
$request->session()->push('some.array', $id);
When I am trying to pull it out, I do:
$request->session()->pull('some.array', $id);
I can add as many number of elements using the push method but when I try to pull it, it deletes the whole array. How to go around this problem. How to delete only the element with a specific id?
If you look closely at the docs you will see that
$request->session()->push('some.array', $id);
if actually creating a sub array on session called [array] so when you pull using
$request->session()->pull('some.array');
you are in fact instructing laravel to delete the whole sub array.
So to just delete just a single member of some.array you will have to
print_r( $request->session()->all() );
$tarray = $request->session()->pull('some.array');
unset( $tarray['an_item'] );
$request->session()->push('some.array', $tarray);
print_r( $request->session()->all() );
