Does not work with Laravel 5 about laravel-mongodb-session

[omanizer]

FYI, this ended up being that symfony's MongoDbSessionHandler wasn't itself compatible with the new MongoDb PHP driver at the time. My gist above is no longer necessary when using a later version of Symfony.

In Laravel 5 set your env value to:
SESSION_DRIVER=database

and in config/session.php

'connection' => 'mongodb',

And the MongoDB driver will store values to the DB.

@dschreck thanks, but that in fact doesn't work

I'm currently using this with Laravel 5.2 and it has worked fine until I upgraded the PHP driver.

Are you using the new MongoDB driver rather than PHP's old Mongo drive by chance? I noticed that MongoDbSessionHandler.php is depending on the old Mongo driver.

I modified this file and got it to work again. See this gist:

I'd like to get this implemented into this library so that it will work with the new driver.

correction:

Add in .env following lines:
SESSION_DRIVER=database
SESSION_CONNECTION=mongodb
