Change item of a session array in Laravel

I'm using Laravel 5.6, using session array to store the user details after login.

Laravel 5.6

session

user_date = array:19 [
"userEmail" => "user@user.com"
"username" => "userwebtest"
"role" => "user"
"gender" => "male"
"profilePic" => "https://domain/public/images/male.jpg"
"temporaryMobile" => null
"communicationEmail" => "user@user.com"
"userId" => "---"
"registrationDate" => "2018-08-22T07:37:59.603Z"
"emailVerified" => false
"__v" => 0
"mobile" => "---"
"cart" =>
"socialLinks" =>
]


Now, when on some event, say update mobile number after OTP verification I just want to update the mobile object.

update

If I do this Session::put("user_data['temporaryMobile']",'+91'.$request->get('new_number'));, it will overwrite the entire object.

Session::put("user_data['temporaryMobile']",'+91'.$request->get('new_number'));

So all I can think of doing is $data = Session::get('user_data') & update the $data array and then put it back to the session Session::put("user_data",$data)

$data = Session::get('user_data')

$data

Session::put("user_data",$data)

I hope there's a better solution to this, looking for a solution where we can just alter the array item without storing the data in different variable.

TIA

you can use dot notation

Session::put('user_data.temporaryMobile','yourmobilenumber');


so this way you don't need to overwrite entire user data.

You should try this:

Session::put('user_data.temporaryMobile','yourmobilenumber');


OR

Session::push('user_data.temporaryMobile','yourmobilenumber');
