        try {
            Message::insert($item);
            Session::flash("message", true);
        } catch (Exception $error) {
            Session::flash("message", false);
        }
        return redirect()->back(); // return back to page Contact
    }
}

Answer

Use the helpers:

• for inserting and making seesion :

seesion()->put();

• for catch and using the session :

session()->get();
