Today I want to create a page for sending contact us mail in site,
For that I have to define admin mail id and admin name as a config value and i want to access the same in same in many places,
I had googled for some time , to find out how can i define my constant in laravel and one of my friend (Ranjith) help to do that ,
Here i am writing how we can use a Config values in laravel,
1. If we want to define all our constants in a custom page ,
We can create a page (Here i am calling constants.php )
and inside that we can define like key value pair
return array( 'custome_name' =>'custome_value', )
And we call the values as below
$cvalue = Config::get('filename.custome_name');
Here we will get our custom_value in $cvalue
Let us look an example
<?php
return array(
'admin_email' =>'mail@shabeebk.com',
'admin_name' =>'Admin',
);
?>
Now let us see How we can retrieve the config in your code somewhere
echo Config::get('constants.admin_email');
echo Config::get('constants.admin_name')
Hope it will help some one 🙂
Thank you Ranjith
I made small changes,
thank you Martin Tonev for correcting from variable to config

You’re better off usin env vars for this.

This was really helpful. Thank You. For sensitive information don’t forget to;
* add the (constants.php) file into ‘.gitignore’ as well as
* making sure the web server is the owner of the file.
