Solve: Laravel env() Variable Always Returns Null Value
The problem mainly occurs at the time of moving our project one server to another server. I’m writing about some possible solutions.
Solution 1
Make sure you have .env
file at the root directory of your Laravel project. If there is no .env file, the rename .env.example
to .env
.
Solution 2
Sometimes it occurs for cache. You can clear configuration cache using following commands:
php artisan config:clear
php artisan optimize
php artisan config:cache
Solution 3
If the above 2 solutions didn’t work, you run these additional commands.
These commands will clear cache, compiled views and routes cache:
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan view:clear
php artisan route:clear
These will clear the current compiled files, update the classes it needs and then write them back out so you don’t have to do it again:
php artisan clear-compiled
composer dump-autoload
php artisan optimize
That’s it. Thank you. ?
