Error - 419 Sorry your session has expired Post request in Laravel

Question

Added a form to the file \resources\views\welcome.blade.php

<form method="POST" action="/foo" >
    @csrf
    <input type="text" name="name"/><br/>
    <input type="submit" value="Add"/>
</form>

Added to file \routes\web.php

Route::post('/foo', function () {
    echo 1;
    return;
});

After sending a POST request:

419 Sorry, your session has expired. Please refresh and try again.

How can i solve this error??

I have the same problem, but I do not recieve the error constantly. It just occures from time to time. I guess that means there's no problem with the session driver, because it works 99% of the time. But I'm running a live app and I get complaints from clients from time to time. It is very rare though. I am using the file session driver. Does someone know why this happens in my case? Thank you

Hello @aakash,

You can easily generate this error by going to either the login or register page. Don't do anything for, maybe, more than 30 minutes. Then when you click on submit, the 419 Page Expired shows up.

Hope this helps!

Thank you bro,,,, It might be a good idea to execute php artisan key:generate and generate a new app key which will, in turn, flush the session data.

Hello @aakash

 I had the same problem and it was because the csrf token wasn't in the form, so adding

@csrf

fixed the problem

Hello,

case 1 : if you are running project in your local system like 127.0.01:8000 ,

then

add SESSION_DOMAIN= in your .env file

or in your config/session.php 'domain' => env('SESSION_DOMAIN', ''),

and then run php artisan cache:clear

case 2: if project is running on server and you have domain like "mydomain.com"

add SESSION_DOMAIN=mydomain.com in your .env file

or in your config/session.php 'domain' => env('SESSION_DOMAIN', 'mydomain.com'),

and then run php artisan cache:clear

Thank You!

Sometimes the cache can also lead to session expired error in front-end. This can be both the server cache and browser cache. So, clear the server cache using

php artisan cache:clear

If this does not fix the error, then clear the browser cache. Many times this fixes the error.
