在Laravel 5.4中登录时会删除会话项

Question

When a guest user puts items into a cart, they are stored in a session like session('cart', 'item1'). However once user has logged in, this session gets destroyed for some reason, and I can no longer access it. Why does this session is removed and how do I keep it after user log in?

I tried to dd() the session even before the validation and login attempt takes place, but it still is removed.

public function postLogin(Request $request) {
        dd(session('cart'));
        // validate
        // attempt to log in
    }

It seems that it gets removed after "post". Is it a normal behavior in Laravel 5 or I'm doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Got the solution.

To store the guest user data use the php session like $_SESSION['cart']='item1' not Laravel one because Laravel stores its session data in the different file and it flush data of its own.
