How to implement guide with session regeneration optimization guide as expected in laravel 8
I've been banging my head against this for hours... I'm experiencing unexpected behavior when trying to regenerate sessions in my Laravel 8 application. I have a login function that is supposed to regenerate the session ID after a successful login to prevent session fixation attacks. However, it seems that the session is not regenerating as expected, and the old session data is still accessible. Here’s the relevant code snippet: ```php public function login(Request $request) { $credentials = $request->only('email', 'password'); if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) { // Regenerate session $request->session()->regenerate(); // Redirect to intended location return redirect()->intended('/dashboard'); } return back()->withErrors([ 'email' => 'The provided credentials do not match our records.', ]); } ``` I’ve checked the session configuration in `config/session.php`, and everything seems fine. I’ve also confirmed that my application is using the default file driver for sessions. After performing the login, I dumped the session data and found that the old session data is still present. Here’s what I have in my `.env` file regarding sessions: ``` SESSION_DRIVER=file SESSION_LIFETIME=120 SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE=false ``` I also tried using `session()->flush()` before calling `session()->regenerate()`, but that led to the user being logged out entirely, which is not the desired effect. The behavior log does not show any relevant errors; it seems like the session regeneration method is not working as it should. Has anyone encountered this scenario before, or does anyone have suggestions on what might be going wrong? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on a service that needs to handle this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
