Laravel - How to store array in session?

Question

I am trying to store the $user array in session but only id is stored in session. How can I put the first_name and last_name also ?

public function getIndex( Request $request )
{
    $this->data['firstNames'] = \DB::table('tb_users')->orderBy('first_name')->lists('first_name', 'id');
    $user = User::where('id', '=', $request->get('id'))->get()->toArray();
    Session::put('user', [ 'id' => $request->get('id'), 'last_name' => $request->get('last_name'), 'first_name' => $request->get('first_name'), ]);
    return view('dashboard.index',$this->data)->with('user', $user);
}

This is the select form

<form action="" method="post">
{!! Form::select('id', $firstNames) !!}
<button type="submit" value="Submit">Go</button>
</form>

To save array to session, use session() helper with this syntax:

session(['var' => $array]);

Later you can get array with session('var').

Also, it seems you're using wrong array structure. To use array in Form::select it should have this structure:

[1 => 'John', 2 => 'Dave']

To save multiple data into session use :

public function getIndex( Request $request )
{

        $this->data['firstNames'] = \DB::table('tb_users')->orderBy('first_name')->lists('first_name', 'id');
        $user = User::where('id', '=', $request->get('id'))->get()->toArray();
        Session::set('user', [ 'id' => $request->get('id'), 'last_name' => $request->get('last_name'), 'first_name' => $request->get('first_name'), ]);
        return view('dashboard.index',['user'=>Session::get('user')]);
    }

I tried. Now getting error Undefined variable: firstNames from index.blade.php because of the form

<form action="" method="post"> {!! Form::select('id', $firstNames) !!} <button type="submit" value="Submit">Go</button> </form>

instead of $firstNames use $user->first_name

public function getAddToCart(Request $request,$id)
{   
    $product = Product::find($id);
    $oldCart = Session::has('cart') ? Session::get('cart') : null;
    $cart = new Cart($oldCart);
    $cart->add($product,$product->id);

    $request->session()->put('cart',$cart);
    return redirect()->route('product.index');
}

You may do like this. And this is my testing website http://lookoko.com ,when you click Add to Cart, the program will put the item array into session.All the codes you are able to locate on https://github.com/GoogleYY/shop-cart.git
