php-laravelHow do I use the env() function in Laravel with PHP?
The env() function in Laravel is used to retrieve environment variables from the .env file. It is a wrapper around the PHP getenv() function, which retrieves variables from the system environment.
Example
$database_name = env('DB_DATABASE');
echo $database_name;
Output example
my_database
The env() function takes two parameters, the first being the name of the environment variable, and the second being an optional default value to return if the environment variable does not exist.
env('DB_DATABASE')- retrieves the value of theDB_DATABASEenvironment variable from the.envfile.env('DB_DATABASE', 'default_value')- retrieves the value of theDB_DATABASEenvironment variable from the.envfile, or returnsdefault_valueif the variable does not exist.
