Laravel 4 not passing session value from controller to view

I had a controller and in it I am storing a session value like this

if(!Session::isStarted())
   Session::start();
}
Session::put('total', $total);

In the view I'm trying to retrieve this value:

if(!Session::isStarted()){
    Session::start();
}
var_dump(Session::all());  // <-- value 'total' not showing

This is the output of the session

array(2) { ["_token"]=> string(40) "IzsMtiTOfMpoOzLj53YyMYEMAUHr4mLMnIAWcnaJ" ["flash"]=> array(2) { ["old"]=> array(0) { } ["new"]=> array(0) { } } }

You don't need to use this:

if(!Session::isStarted())
    Session::start();
}

The session will be started by framework, you can simply use this:

Session::put('total', $total);

All you need to configure/set the driver in app/config/session.php file and by default Laravel uses file driver, it is set in the app/config/session.php like this:

'driver' => 'file',

Actually you don't need to pass the session, if you set the session anywhere in your application then it'll be available in anywhere through your application, you can access it from your view, you don't need to pass it but you have to set/put the value in the session before you access it.
