To work with session in your controller you need to include session first in your controller

use Session;

After that for store data in session. There is several ways to do it. I prefer this one (in controller)

session()->put('key',$value);

To display session data in your View you can do it like this

@if(Session::has('key'))
I'v got session data
@else
I don't have session data
@endif

To get session data in your Controller you can do it like this

session()->get('key')
//or
session()->get('key','defaul_value_if_session_dont_exist')

When you are done with your data in session you can delete it like this (in controller)

session()->forget('key');

All this basic usage of session is well documented in official Laravel documentation here.

Hope it helps you
