Is there a way to get data when processing on controller - Laravel PHP

Question

I have a function on controller like crawl.

My Controller sometimes sleeping 10 seconds, sometimes go away.

Like this:

 while ($someTrueFalse) {
        $data[]=$gettingdata;

        $wantToPassText="Received ".count($data)." - Sleeping 10 seconds";

        if($someControl){
            $someTrueFalse=false;
        }

        sleep(10);
    }

    return view('any_view');

How can I access the $wantToPassText variable from any views?

I tried,

setcookie('data',$wantToPassText,time()+60);

But i can't accessing while controller processing. I can access only when process finishes.

I tried, write database this $wantToPassText, but i can't access again while processing.

I mean, i want write on page live process status. How is it possible?

Sorry my bad english...

What do you want to achieve? Your view won't be reached unless the loop finishes processing. your view can get the $wantToPassText if it's passed from the controller to the view. — ssi-anik

I want to show to user the processing on waiting. I can use jquery ajax methods. Forexample, i want to show to user, “received 20 datas”. 3 seconds later show “received 40 datas” when while loop returning. I tried set cookie each return of while loop, and try to read on another page with $_COOKIE but i didn’t success. Cookie setted only when controllers complete works. — sportakal

A solution could be to store within cache.

You can store the value like so:

Cache::put(['text' => $wantToPassText], 1);

The second argument are the amount of minutes to cache (as of Laravel 5.8 this is now the amount of seconds).

Once you have completed the task, you can then clear the cache key/value:

Cache::forget('text');

Note: You should make sure to include the facade at the top of your controller:

use Cache
