How to change env configuration in Laravel controller? - laravel

Question

I want to change env configuration from Controller, but this didnt work.
Controller
config(['MAIL_HOST' => 'smtp.sendgrid.net']);
config(['MAIL_PORT' => '25']);
config(['MAIL_USERNAME' => 'apikey']);
config(['MAIL_PASSWORD' => 'SG..']);
Mail::send(
'vendor.maileclipse.templates.news',
["content" => $content],
function ($message) use ($email) {
$message->to($email)->subject('Email');
}
);
}
.env
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=
MAIL_PORT=
MAIL_USERNAME=
MAIL_PASSWORD=
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=xy#xy.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="Test"
mail.php

Answer 1

You can set like below
config([
'mail.mailers.smtp.host' => '',
'mail.mailers.smtp.port' => ,
'mail.mailers.smtp.encryption' => '',
'mail.mailers.smtp.username' => '',
'mail.mailers.smtp.password' => '',
'mail.from.address' => ''
]
);
This will override from mail.php
'mailers' => [
'smtp' => [
'transport' => 'smtp',
'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.mailgun.org'),
'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD'),
'timeout' => null,
'auth_mode' => null,
],
Note:As infromed by #ceejayoz in comment .Remembe tt should be noted that this will only change it for that request. It will not change it for other requests, and will not update the .env file. –
Updated
config([
'mail.host' => '',
'mail.port' => ,
'mail.encryption' => '',
'mail.username' => '',
'mail.password' => '',
'mail.from.address' => ''
]
);

Use config file keys instead of .env variables, in your case config/mail.php
config(['mail.mailers.smtp.host' => 'smtp.sendgrid.net']);
config(['mail.mailers.smtp.port' => '25']);
config(['mail.mailers.smtp.username' => 'apikey']);
config(['mail.mailers.smtp.password' => 'SG...']);
Mail::send(
'vendor.maileclipse.templates.news',
["content" => $content],
function ($message) use ($email) {
$message->to($email)->subject('Email');
}
);
}
