Laravel .env variable always returns null

Viewed 484 times

I added this variable to .env file

STRIPE_SECRET=a12345

I would like to dump the variable using routes/web.php

<?php
dd(env('STRIPE_SECRET'));

But it looks like it always returns null.

Update : Updated .env file. I only removed DB_PASSWORD.

APP_NAME=Laravel
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=base64:08txDXXatyYsP5WQ4ECz35Q7OyBEe8Vgb/zK5fZsHik=
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug
APP_URL=http://localhost
APP_LOCALE=tr

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=gunluk
DB_USERNAME=root

The main reason upon your issue is that you are caching your configuration. When running php artisan config:cache you're storing your configuration in your cache, and the next time Laravel will boot up it won't read the .env file because it detects that the configuration has been stored in the cache. Environment file should be used only to setup configuration files and then to access the value you're looking for you should use ONLY the config method.

Let's assume that you have the file config/stripe.php that consists of this content:

<?php

return [
    'secret' => env('STRIPE_SECRET', '')
];

Once you run php artisan config:cache access this value using ONLY the syntax config('stripe.secret') through your application code. Every time you update your config files and your .env you need to run php artisan config:cache again.

$model->update() updates and saves the model. Therefore, $model->isDirty() equals false as the model has not been changed since the last executed query (which queries the database to save the model).

Try updating the model like this:

$partner = Partner::find($id);

foreach ($partnerData as $column => $value) {
    if ($column === 'id') continue;

    $partner->$column = $value;
}

if ($partner->isDirty()) {
    // should be dirty now
}

$partner->save(); // $partner will be not-dirty from here

Recommended approach if you put here only methods (not classes):

Create file anywhere you want

In composer.json make sure you add this file to files key inside autoload like this:

"autoload": {
    // here other autoload things

    "files": ["app/Helpers/AnythingHelper.php"]
},

Run composerdump-autoload`

For classes obviously you should use standard PSR-4 autoloading

The "illuminate/html" component is no more supported by Laravel and is not compatible with the 5.2 version.

You can replace it with laravelcollective/html

You have to:

remove the reference of "illuminate/html": "^5.0@dev", from composer.json
add "laravelcollective/html": "5.1.*" (or the version you want)
run composer update to update the dependecies (this will remove your "illuminate/html" component and install the "laravelcollective/html" component

Now you have to replace your HTML service provider with:

 'providers' => [
    CollectiveHtmlHtmlServiceProvider::class,
  ],

and the facades:

  'aliases' => [
      'Form' => CollectiveHtmlFormFacade::class,
      'Html' => CollectiveHtmlHtmlFacade::class,
  ],

Your request looks fine, it should work. Did you set up services.wsdl with your EWS server address? (see http://ewswrapper.lafiel.net/basic-info/working-with-ewswrapper/ for some more info)

Try looking at the actual call before it is send and the response before it is interpreted. To do so in NTMLSoapClinet.php print $request at the top of __doRequest() function and end script execution (ie. die()) and then try printing $response befor it is returned in __doRequest() function and end script execution. This should give you some more insight on what's going on.
