Laravel: How to access config/Mail variables

Question

I need to get address and name variables on my Mail.php config:

'from' => ['address' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'), 'name' => env('MAIL_NAME')],

I tried this:

Config::get('mail.from.*.name');
Config::get('mail.from["name"]');

But it doesn't work, what do I do to get them? Thanks.

Tried Config::get('mail.from.name'); ?

I think you can directly access MAIL_NAME from .env

env('MAIL_NAME');

OR

Config::get('mail.from.name');

Hope this work for you !!!

overall it's better to use the config method, in a production environment with the "config:cache" command advised in the doc the .env file isn't accessible

this is the shortest method i know using helper methods :

config('mail.from.name')

or you can access it using your .env file with env('MAIL_NAME')

it is preferable put your mail name in your configuration file and access it with env function like this :

env('MAIL_NAME')

Better to use the config() helper. Laravel will use what config() returns, so changing the config to 'from' => ['address' => '[email protected]', 'name' => 'Something Hard Coded'], would cause this to output the wrong information.
