Laravel 5.2 persistent session id through login, ok to use _token?
<p>I need to reserve items in my database when a user adds them to his/her basket. I am currently using the session id (<code>Session::getId()</code>) however this is regenerated at login. Whilst you can shop as a guest, to checkout you must register.</p>

<p>If i take a look at all session variables with <code>$request-&gt;session()-&gt;all()</code> i have come across the <code>_token</code>, this looks like a unique string and it does not regenerate at login, i was therefore thinking of using this for my baskets? </p>

<p>Is this safe?</p>

<p>If not alternatively i would have to generate my own uuid's in PHP and store them as basket_id or something, this would save me having to do this.</p>

<p>Many thanks in advance.</p>
