Laravel 5.2 : set and get session with multiple variables

Question

I need to set an session with multiple variables and then get the session back in the next page.

here what I try

in controller

public function postInvoice(Request $request)
    {
        $name = $request->name;
        $email = $request->email;
        $phone = $request->phone;
        $zip = $request->zip;
        $country = $request->country;
        $street_address = $request->street_address;
        $city = $request->city;
        $state = $request->state;

        Session::flash('userInfo', [$name, $email, $phone, $zip, $country, $street_address, $city, $state]);
        return view('portal.cart.standardPayment');
    }

and then in my blade page when I try to get the session back I try

{!! Session::get('userInfo', $name) !!}

but got

Undefined variable: name

How can I get the session variables from the array?

You are passing array of values, so try Session::get('userInfo')[0]. The get function second parameter is the default value

Nice idea so if I need to add something like Session::get('userInfo')[name] I need to change the Session::flash to be something like Session::flash('userInfo', ['name'=>'$name'] yes??

I know this answer is late, but it may help someone.

If you want to store an array of data in session, the easiest way to do it is:

using session()->push() method

session()->push('user.first_name', 'John');

using session()->put('array_name', [])

session()->put('names', ['john', 'doe']);
