How to Get the Session Id in Laravel

How can I get the session ID in Laravel?

Depends on the version of Laravel:

Laravel 3:

$session_id = $_COOKIE["laravel_session"];

Laravel 4.0:

Just not versions 4.1 and above:

$session_id = session_id(); //thanks Phill Sparks

Laravel 4.1 (and onwards):

$session_id = Session::getId();

or

$session_id = session()->getId()

Laravel no longer uses the built-in PHP sessions directly, as a developer could choose to use various drivers to manage the sessions of visitors (docs for Laravel 4.2, Laravel 5.1, Laravel 5.2).

Because of this, now we must use Laravel's Session facade or session() helper to get the ID of the session:

Laravel - what to use as session ID?

session()->getId() is the correct session ID.

$request->session()->token() returns the CSRF token, not the session ID.
The laravel_session cookie may be encrypted if you're using the middleware.

Laravel Session::getId() is different on login and logout

I have found that , need to override sendLoginResponse from AuthenticatesUsers in Auth/LoginController

$request->session()->regenerate() generates new session id after login , so if you want to get same id as before , comment out that line .

 protected function sendLoginResponse(Request $request)
    {
        // $request->session()->regenerate();   <-- this line is generating new session after user login 
        $this->clearLoginAttempts($request);

        return $this->authenticated($request, $this->guard()->user())
                ?: redirect()->intended($this->redirectPath());
    }

Find a Session by ID Substring in Laravel 8

Something like this should work.

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

$value = 'my cool value';
$prefix = 'aVhN8u';
$stored = session()->all();

$filtered = collect($stored)->filter(function ($session, $key) use ($prefix, $value) {
    return Str::startsWith($key, $prefix) && $session == $value;
})->all();

Is it possible to get session ID from cookie?

Getting the Session ID from a cookie?

I wasn't completely sure about what you meant by getting it from a cookie but you could try the code below.

Imports

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Crypt;

Code

Crypt::decrypt(
  \Request::cookie(
     config('session.cookie')
  )
)

Getting the Session ID

I have not been able to test this but I believe it should work, the 'session()' is a global variable so there's no need for any imports.

Code

$id = session('id');

Hope this answered your question, good luck!
