How to display a flash message along with redirect without using Session in laravel?

I have a part of code which checks for the file uploaded by user. If I find that is file is not a valid png/jpg/jpeg file then I am deactivating the user and logging him out from the site and deleting his session and then redirecting him to login page. I want to display the error to him that he/she is trying to upload an invalid file. I am not able to find anything on how to display it without using Session. Any help will be appreciated.

For example, if you don't want to use session for some reason, this is a simple code to show the error message in a specific view and then we give to the user a link to login again.

UploadController.php

public function myUpload(){

  //... some stuff and then logout the user, delete the session

  return view('uploadError', ['uploadError' => 'for some reason...']);
}

uploadError.blade.php

Error uploading the file: {{ $uploadError }}

<a href="/login">Login again</a>

In your case, you can't use the error sessions system because when you delete it, in this moment the user haven't a session, and the response has not session. And if you redirect to the login page from the controller, this login request will generate the new session, not before.

You can create new session messages after flush the session, these messages will delete after shown

controller

$is_valid // boolean 

if(!is_valid) {
// if file is not valid, do something
 ...
// clear all session
session()->flush()
// redirect user to login page and send session message
return redirect()->route("login")
                 ->with("message","Your file is not valid")
                 ->with("message_type","danger");

login.blade

@if(session()->has("message"))
<div class="alert alert-{{session("message_type")}}">
  <p> {{session("message")}} </p>
</div>
@endif
