Answer 1

if you have STRIPE="a12345" this in .env file or if you any change in .env file or config file then you fallow these steps

one more thing write the variable value in comma's like STRIPE="a12345"

First run these commands

 1. php artisan config:clear
 2. php artisan cache:clear
 3. composer dump-autoload

and finally used this command to get variable

dd(env('STRIPE'));

this working for me

and also 1 stupid suggestion: restart server

I have add all possible solution
