I have to use file_put_content() function. But when the .env file $key value is empty then it will add new value other wise it show error. I need to merge old value.
private function setEnv($key, $value)
{
$path = base_path('.env');
if (file_exists($path)) {
file_put_contents($path, str_replace(
$key . '=' . env($key),
$key . '=' . $value,
file_get_contents($path)
));
}
}
Do you have any idea?
Whenever you change the .env file, you need to refresh the Laravel configuration cache by php artisan config:cache.
So your function will become:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Artisan;
private function setEnv($key, $value)
{
$path = base_path('.env');
if (file_exists($path)) {
// Get all the lines from that file
$lines = explode("\n", file_get_contents($path));
$settings = collect($lines)
->filter() // remove empty lines
->transform(function ($item) {
return explode("=", $item, 2);
}) // separate key and values
->pluck(1, 0); // keys to keys, values to values
$settings[$key] = $value; // set the new value whether it exists or not
$rebuilt = $settings->map(function ($value, $key) {
return "$key=$value";
})->implode("\n"); // rebuild the env file
file_put_contents($path, $rebuilt); // put the new contents
Artisan::call("config:cache"); // cache the added/modified parameter
}
}
