I created in my root laravel directory, file .env.php. With below content

<?php
return array(
    'DB_HOST'=>'localhost',
    'DB_NAME'=>'erp',
    'DB_USER'=>'root',
    'DB_PASS'=>'',
);

Next, in random controller I have code:

dd(App::environment(),$_ENV);

On my output I get

string 'production' (length=10)
array (size=0)
  empty

Why $_ENV is empty?

Try using ``getenv()`` instead and see if that helps. I know using other global variables doesn't always work as intended in Laravel. – Joel Hinz Dec 07 '14 at 21:34
