How can I get the session ID in Laravel?

Question

I want to get the id of the session in Laravel 4

In Laravel 3, it was a bit hacky, but possible with this code:

$session_id = Session::$instance->         


        

Answer 1

Just had a little hunt for myself, because the above answers didn't work for me (Laravel 4.1)...

Had to use this:

Session::getId();
