I was trying to declare a static var, but always is null, I try several combinations and ways without luck. I'm trying to store a var with some data, but I really don't want to reprocess, If already was processed one time.
            class PackingController extends Controller
            {
                protected static $i;
                function Process(Request $request)
                {
                    $r = new packing();
                    $v = $r->customer('data','data');
                    $items = $this->startProcess($v,false);
                    return \View::make('list/print',compact('items'));
                }
                private function startProcess($dbitems, $ajust=false)
                {
                //Some logic
                self::$i = $items;
                return $items;
                }
                function printPdf()
                {
                    $items = self::$i;
                    //shows null:
                    dd($items);
                }
            }
What's is wrong?
Update: I try with singleton without luck.
        namespace App\Helper;
        class Items
        {
            private static $_items;
            private static $inst;
            public function setItems($value)
            {
                self::$_items = $value;
            }
            public function getItems()
            {
                return self::$_items;
            }
            public static function Instance()
            {
                if (self::$inst == null) {
                    self::$inst = new Items();
                }
                return self::$inst;
            }
            private function __clone()
            {
            }
            private function __construct()
            {
            }
        }
With singleton, still null, Also try with a single value, instead of variable, without luck
    class PackingController extends Controller
    {
        protected static $i;
        function GetPackings()
        {
            $s = sales::with('Customer')->where('salestype','=','3')->take(1000)->orderBy('receiptdaterequested','desc')->pluck('salesid','salesid');
            $p = pack::distinct('APPACKINGGROUPID')->pluck('APPACKINGGROUPID','APPACKINGGROUPID')->all();
            return \View::make('listas/index',compact('p','s'));
        }
        function Process(Request $request)
        {
            $r = new packing();
            $v = $r->customer('Mexico','PVE0111998');
            $items = $this->startProcess($v,false);
            return \View::make('listas/print',compact('items'));
        }
        private function startProcess($dbitems, $ajust=false)
        {
            $bultos = 1;
            $items = array();
            foreach ($dbitems as $dbitem)
            {
            //Some process
                $items[]=$item;
            }
            $s = Items::Instance();
            if (count($items) > 0 ) {
                $s->setItems($items);
            }
            return $items;
        }
        function printPdf()
        {
            $s = Items::Instance();
            $s->getItems();
            dd($s->getItems());
        }
    }
