Laravel 5.4 - I can't use static array to save data in controller. How to deal with it?

I want to keep some data from every request but I don't want to use database , because these data just keep temporary , so...I use a static array in my controller,

public static $aId = [];

and when request come in , I take the data and push it to that array , just like

public function saveId(Request $request){
   $id = $request->id;
   array_push(MyController::$aId,$id);
   return var_dump(MyController::$aId);
}

But problem is , every request will make that array become a new array , I always get an array which only have one data. Please help me.

Solution

  • Either the cache or session would work for you. Create a unique key, such as

    $key = Auth::user()->id . '-aId';

    Cache::put($key, $id, Carbon::now()->addMinutes(10));

    or

    Session::put($key, $id);

    and reference that between requests. The user id will not change and the -aId suffix will allow you to keep what you have in the session already.

    edit ok so you want it globally available across all users, sessions, etc...

    // assuming an array has already been set in cache key 'request-ids'...
$id = $request->id;
Cache::forever('request-ids', array_push($id,Cache::get('request-ids')));
