Laravel 5.1 create array variable in .env file for global use
You can't store an array in .env file as the ENV format doesn't support that.
A workaround could be serializing the array to a string of some known format, e.g. comma separated values, and then split it whenever you needed.
This should do the trick:
#.env fileVARIABLE_NAME="Value 1,Value 2,Value 3"#config/app.phpreturn [ 'VARIABLE_NAME' => explode(',', env('VARIABLE_NAME'))];
