How can I get the session ID in Laravel

Question

I want to get the id of the session in Laravel.

In Laravel, it was a bit hacky, but possible with this code:

$session_id = Session::$instance->session['id'];

But I can't work it out in Laravel 4... referencing the Session::$instance object throws errors:

Access to undeclared static property: Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session::$instance

have tried:

$session_id = Session::get('id');

but to no avail.. any ideas?

Hii,

Use:

$session_id = Session::getId();

or

$session_id = session()->getId()
