Laravel - set session from form input - php

Question

I cannot display session value in my view. I only want to display it to see if it's correctly set inside the controller. Is it correctly set in controller? How can I check?
I have this in view:
<div class="panel panel-success">
<form action="{{ route('get_table') }}" method="POST">
{{ csrf_field() }}
#foreach($tables as $data)
<button type="submit" name="tables" class="btn btn-primary" value="{{ $data->id }}">
{{$data->name }}
</button>
#endforeach
</form>
{{ Session::get('table_id') }}
</div>
This in ListController:
public function index() {
$tables = DB::table('tables')->get();
return view('welcome', compact('tables'));
}
public function getTable(Request $request) {
$table_id = $request->get('tables');
$request->session()->put('table_id', $table_id);
}
And this in web.php routes:
Route::get('/', 'ListController#index')->name('get_table');
Route::post('/', 'ListController#getTable');
I even tried
public function getTable(Request $request) {
$request->session()->put('table_id', '1234');
}
Nothing shows up in the view at {{ Session::get('table_id') }}
What am I doing wrong?

You can try this:
public function getTable(Request $request) {
$table_id = $request->get('tables');
return redirect()->back()->with('table_id',$table_id);
}
if you want to redirect to specific route then:
public function getTable(Request $request) {
$table_id = $request->get('tables');
return redirect()->route('RouteName')->with('table_id',$table_id);
}
and then in view:
#if(Session::has('table_id'))
{{ Session::get('table_id') }}
#endif
Hope you got your answer
