I guess you need to use a 'use' statement in your class. As I am a beginner myself and not yet so familiar with Laravel 5, I'd suggest to try a
use Session

The second method works, because it is a helper method and essentially everwhere (including blade templates) by default available. Use it, if it suits you, there is absolutely no downside to using it. Only, not all methods are available as helpers and for sure not all methods are mentioned in the docs...

The same goes for the cache. Hope that helps.
Btw, the driver should not matter. But thanks for posting.
ok so adding use Session; looks like it fixed the session issue but still getting the same error for the cache. Will look into this more when i get some time. Thanks for getting me started in the right path. Will keep you posted on the results.
