How to use one variable in more function in one controller in laravel 4

Question

I have controller that has functions and I want to use one variable through them

class TrainerController extends \BaseController {
  public function one(){
    $variable = "some data";
  }

  public function two()
  {
    //How to use $variable here ?!
  }
}

I tried to use session but session scope in one function (view) only thanks in advance

Make it a property

class TrainerController extends \BaseController 
{

  private $variable;

  public functionOne(){
    $this->variable = "some data";
  }

  public functionTwo()
  {
    echo $this->variable; //outputs 'some data' IF this 1st method has already been called
  }
}

I did that, but still not worked – Mohamed Gamal Jun 13 '15 at 21:19
Please explain, do you mean you need to make it available across requests? – Steve Jun 13 '15 at 21:19
Then you need to save it to persistant storage. Sessions seem like the obvious choice - what problem did you encounter when you tried to do that? – Steve Jun 13 '15 at 21:24
I use Session::put but when I get it , It's undefined variable in session – Mohamed Gamal Jun 13 '15 at 21:26
Are you certain the 1st method (function one) is being called before the second one? Also, it the same user accessing both, because sessions are unique to each user – Steve Jun 13 '15 at 21:27
see the $variable has common data that is important for all functions in this controller , got it ? – Mohamed Gamal Jun 13 '15 at 21:28
