How to get env data in Laravel

In Laravel, you can retrieve environment variables using the env function.

Here's an example of how to retrieve an environment variable named APP_NAME:

$envValue = env('APP_NAME');

This will retrieve the value of the APP_NAME environment variable from your .env file. If the variable is not set in the .env file, it will return null.

You can also provide a default value as the second argument to the env function:

$envValue = env('APP_NAME', 'My Default Value');

This will retrieve the value of the APP_NAME environment variable if it is set in the .env file. If it is not set, it will return the default value of My Default Value.
