I installed Laravel 5.7



Added a form to the file resourcesviewswelcome.blade.php



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


Added to file routesweb.php



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


After sending a POST request:




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




In version 5.6 there was no such a problem.

  • Have you tried adding a redirect? Instead of return; you can call return redirect()->back();. From what I can see, the app has nothing to do after the post request. Maybe you can redirect it to a view after processing the request.

  • I'm having the same issue. When i switch to database session this happens and when i change back to file for SESSION_DRIVER in .env it works fine. Why is the database based session not working.

  • this problem because of token problem. I have try to run same code like this, but get no error. You should give more information like your session driver, _token value display in the form. Also, you can debug yourself in this file vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Http/Middleware/VerifyCsrfToken.php line 67 to know why

The session expired error message comes up because somewhere your csrf token verification fails which means the AppHttpMiddlewareVerifyCsrfToken::class middleware is already turned on. In the form the @csrf blade directive is already added, which should be fine as well.



Then the other aria to check is the session. The csrf token verification is directly involved with your session, So you might want to check whether your session driver is working or not, such as an incorrectly configured Redis might cause an issue.



Maybe you can try switching your session driver/software from your .env file, the supported drivers are given below



Supported Session drivers in Laravel 5.7 (Doc Link)





  • file - sessions are stored in storage/framework/sessions. cookie - sessions are stored in secure, encrypted cookies.


  • database - sessions are stored in a relational database.


  • memcached / redis - sessions are stored in one of these fast, cache based stores.


  • array - sessions are stored in a PHP array and will not be persisted.


If your form works after switching the session driver, then something wrong is with that particular driver, try to fix the error from there.



Possible error prone scenarios




  • Probably file-based sessions might not work because of the permission issues with the /storage directory (a quick googling will fetch you the solution)


  • In the case of the database driver, your DB connection might be wrong, or the sessions table might not exist or wrongly configured (the wrong configuration part was confirmed to be an issue as per the comment by @Junaid Qadir).



  • redis/memcached configuration is wrong or is being manipulated by some other piece of code in the system at the same time.


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.

    This is because the form requires a csrf. In version 5.7, they changed it to @csrf



    <form action="" method="post">
    @csrf
    ...

    I just had the exact same issue and it was down to me being completely stupid. I had disabled all of the form fields (rather than just the submit button) via javascript before submitting said form! This, of course, resulted in the all the form elements not being submitted (including the hidden _token field) which in turn brought up the 419 error!



    I hope this helps someone from a few hours of head scratching!



    Disabled form inputs do not appear in the request

      In your Http/Kernel.php



      try to comment this line :



      IlluminateSessionMiddlewareAuthenticateSession::class,



      in your web middleware array



      it might be the root of your issue

        How about using



        {{ csrf_field() }} instead of @csrf



        419 error is mostly because of csrf token issues.

        It may be overkill but you can try this:



        // Form calling named route with hidden token field added.



        <form method="POST" action="{{ route('foo') }}" >
        @csrf
        <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{!! csrf_token() !!}">
        <input type="text" name="name"/><br/>
        <input type="submit" value="Add"/>
        </form>


        // Named Route



        Route::post('/foo', function () {
        return 'bar';
        })->name('foo');


        // Add this within the <head></head> block:



        <meta name="_token" content="{!! csrf_token() !!}" />


        I did test it on my local using Homestead on Laravel 5.7 which was was fresh install using Laravel Installer 2.0.1 and it worked. What is your environment?



        Theory: I wonder if that has something to do with blade rendering html tags with {{ }} vs. {!! !!} on your environment or how you are serving it (eg. php artisan serve). What makes me think that is line 335 of /vendor/laravel/framework/src/illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php should render the same line manually typed out above.

        I also had a problem like this and I've discovered that the session files were locked for writing. So, I don't know if you are running your Laravel via stuff like vagrant or Docker, but I advise you to try to change the rights of the session directory (and files of course) (When you run Laravel in a VM you should change the rights locally and in the VM (like, when you share the files via NFS)



        Like this:



        chmod -R 777 storage/framework/sessions
        chmod -R 777 storage/logs


        I know, a 777 permission is the worst disaster that you can ever imagine. But they are handy for troubleshooting.



        To be sure that I never forgot this I made a bash script. (Called it lalog, just because I wanted to clear the log files and set permissions)



        Note: Make sure that you use this on the session directory. In config/session.php there is a files key declared with the location. In my case:



        <?php
        //...........
        'files' => storage_path('framework/sessions'),
        //...........


        Location: /usr/bin/lalog (This is a file, not a directory)

        Execute in shell as lalog



        #!/bin/bash
        rm -rf /home/username/Projects/x/storage/logs/laravel.log
        echo "Laravel log removed"
        touch /home/username/Projects/x/storage/logs/laravel.log
        echo "Laravel log created"
        chmod -R 777 /home/username/Projects/x/storage/
        echo "CHMOD 777 on Storage dir"


        Warning! This will allow write access for everyone, so be carefull with it!
        Also, maybe there is some usefull information in the log file of Laravel. (be sure to look in that log file before running my bash script)



        Also, I know that it's already mentioned. But, be totally sure that you always




        1. Allow cookies in the browser, so the token can be set in the cookies

        2. Check if you are using the @csrf in your blade file


        The form should be something like this



        <form method="POST" action="{{ route('login') }}">
        @csrf
        .......
        </form>

          You cannot do an empty return on Laravel 5.6 or greater. Laravel always expects a value to be returned. (I know from past experience).
          This is mainly to do with how PHP 7 handles empty returns.

            You have added the CSRF field incorrectly. Instead of @csrf you should use csrf_field() like this:



            <form method="POST" action="/foo" >
            {{ csrf_field() }}
            <input type="text" name="name"/><br/>
            <input type="submit" value="Add"/>

            There is no issue in the code. I have checked with the same code as you have written with new installation.



            Form Code:



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


            web.php file code:



            Route::get('/', function () {
            return view('welcome');
            });

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


            The result after submitting the form is:
            Output after submitting the form



            If you clear your browser cache or try with other browser, I think it will fixed.

              A quick bad approach is that go to apphttpmiddlewareverifycsrftoken.php and add the route in $except list. The post request will be ignord for CSRF Token verification.



              protected $except = [
              //
              'doLogin.aspx',
              'create_coupon',

                Actually SCRF is a session based token.
                Add your route in a route group and add a middleware which control the sessions.



                web is a default middleware in laravel and it can controls the session requests.



                Route::group(array('middleware' => ['web']), function () {
                Route::post('/foo', function () {
                echo 1;
                return;
                });
                });

                  In default I didn't have this problem. So what I did is chmod -R 644 sessions
                  to replicate the problem.



                  enter image description here



                  Afterwards I gave permissions to sessions folder by chmod -R 755 sessions



                  now my project code works again.



                  enter image description here



                  Reason it happens is you store your cache on file with lack of writing
                  permissions.




                  The session configuration file is stored at config/session.php. Be
                  sure to review the options available to you in this file. By default,
                  Laravel is configured to use the file session driver, which will work
                  well for many applications. In production applications, you may
                  consider using the memcached or redis drivers for even faster session
                  performance.




                  Solutions:



                  1 - As I have fixed above you can give 755 permission to sessions folder.
                  2 - You can use another session driver configuration.




                  file - sessions are stored in storage/framework/sessions. cookie -
                  sessions are stored in secure, encrypted cookies. database - sessions
                  are stored in a relational database. memcached / redis - sessions are
                  stored in one of these fast, cache based stores. array - sessions are
                  stored in a PHP array and will not be persisted.




                  Bear in mind; If you want to use memcached/redis you need to have them installed on your server or your docker redis container must be running.

                      CSRF tokens are a security feature. Disabling verification might make the error go away, but it leaves a vulnerability without solving the problem or helping you figure out what caused it

                    The session expired error message comes up because somewhere your csrf token verification fails which means the AppHttpMiddlewareVerifyCsrfToken::class middleware is already turned on. In the form the @csrf blade directive is already added, which should be fine as well.



                    Then the other aria to check is the session. The csrf token verification is directly involved with your session, So you might want to check whether your session driver is working or not, such as an incorrectly configured Redis might cause an issue.



                    Maybe you can try switching your session driver/software from your .env file, the supported drivers are given below



                    Supported Session drivers in Laravel 5.7 (Doc Link)





                    • file - sessions are stored in storage/framework/sessions. cookie - sessions are stored in secure, encrypted cookies.


                    • database - sessions are stored in a relational database.


                    • memcached / redis - sessions are stored in one of these fast, cache based stores.


                    • array - sessions are stored in a PHP array and will not be persisted.


                    If your form works after switching the session driver, then something wrong is with that particular driver, try to fix the error from there.



                    Possible error prone scenarios




                    • Probably file-based sessions might not work because of the permission issues with the /storage directory (a quick googling will fetch you the solution)


                    • In the case of the database driver, your DB connection might be wrong, or the sessions table might not exist or wrongly configured (the wrong configuration part was confirmed to be an issue as per the comment by @Junaid Qadir).



                    • redis/memcached configuration is wrong or is being manipulated by some other piece of code in the system at the same time.


                    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.

                            I just had the exact same issue and it was down to me being completely stupid. I had disabled all of the form fields (rather than just the submit button) via javascript before submitting said form! This, of course, resulted in the all the form elements not being submitted (including the hidden _token field) which in turn brought up the 419 error!



                            I hope this helps someone from a few hours of head scratching!



                            Disabled form inputs do not appear in the request

                                            It may be overkill but you can try this:



                                            // Form calling named route with hidden token field added.



                                            <form method="POST" action="{{ route('foo') }}" >
                                            @csrf
                                            <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{!! csrf_token() !!}">
                                            <input type="text" name="name"/><br/>
                                            <input type="submit" value="Add"/>
                                            </form>


                                            // Named Route



                                            Route::post('/foo', function () {
                                            return 'bar';
                                            })->name('foo');


                                            // Add this within the <head></head> block:



                                            <meta name="_token" content="{!! csrf_token() !!}" />


                                            I did test it on my local using Homestead on Laravel 5.7 which was was fresh install using Laravel Installer 2.0.1 and it worked. What is your environment?



                                            Theory: I wonder if that has something to do with blade rendering html tags with {{ }} vs. {!! !!} on your environment or how you are serving it (eg. php artisan serve). What makes me think that is line 335 of /vendor/laravel/framework/src/illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php should render the same line manually typed out above.

                                            • Yeah cool, but <meta> tags should be placed within the <head>, not inside the <body>. I'm not sure HTML validator would like this.

                                            I also had a problem like this and I've discovered that the session files were locked for writing. So, I don't know if you are running your Laravel via stuff like vagrant or Docker, but I advise you to try to change the rights of the session directory (and files of course) (When you run Laravel in a VM you should change the rights locally and in the VM (like, when you share the files via NFS)



                                            Like this:



                                            chmod -R 777 storage/framework/sessions
                                            chmod -R 777 storage/logs


                                            I know, a 777 permission is the worst disaster that you can ever imagine. But they are handy for troubleshooting.



                                            To be sure that I never forgot this I made a bash script. (Called it lalog, just because I wanted to clear the log files and set permissions)



                                            Note: Make sure that you use this on the session directory. In config/session.php there is a files key declared with the location. In my case:



                                            <?php
                                            //...........
                                            'files' => storage_path('framework/sessions'),
                                            //...........


                                            Location: /usr/bin/lalog (This is a file, not a directory)

                                            Execute in shell as lalog

                                            2. Check if you are using the @csrf in your blade file


                                            The form should be something like this

                                                I also had a problem like this and I've discovered that the session files were locked for writing. So, I don't know if you are running your Laravel via stuff like vagrant or Docker, but I advise you to try to change the rights of the session directory (and files of course) (When you run Laravel in a VM you should change the rights locally and in the VM (like, when you share the files via NFS)



                                                Like this:



                                                chmod -R 777 storage/framework/sessions
                                                chmod -R 777 storage/logs


                                                I know, a 777 permission is the worst disaster that you can ever imagine. But they are handy for troubleshooting.



                                                To be sure that I never forgot this I made a bash script. (Called it lalog, just because I wanted to clear the log files and set permissions)



                                                Note: Make sure that you use this on the session directory. In config/session.php there is a files key declared with the location. In my case:



                                                <?php
                                                //...........
                                                'files' => storage_path('framework/sessions'),
                                                //...........


                                                Location: /usr/bin/lalog (This is a file, not a directory)

                                                Execute in shell as lalog



                                                #!/bin/bash
                                                rm -rf /home/username/Projects/x/storage/logs/laravel.log
                                                echo "Laravel log removed"
                                                touch /home/username/Projects/x/storage/logs/laravel.log
                                                echo "Laravel log created"
                                                chmod -R 777 /home/username/Projects/x/storage/
                                                echo "CHMOD 777 on Storage dir"


                                                Warning! This will allow write access for everyone, so be carefull with it!
                                                Also, maybe there is some usefull information in the log file of Laravel. (be sure to look in that log file before running my bash script)



                                                Also, I know that it's already mentioned. But, be totally sure that you always

                                                    You cannot do an empty return on Laravel 5.6 or greater. Laravel always expects a value to be returned. (I know from past experience).
                                                    This is mainly to do with how PHP 7 handles empty returns.

                                                            There is no issue in the code. I have checked with the same code as you have written with new installation.



                                                            Form Code:



                                                            <form method="POST" action="/foo" >

                                                            </form>


                                                            web.php file code:



                                                            Route::get('/', function () {
                                                            return view('welcome');
                                                            });

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


                                                            The result after submitting the form is:
                                                            Output after submitting the form



                                                            If you clear your browser cache or try with other browser, I think it will fixed.
