Answer 1

Another option is using config file instead changing content in .env file

Put these all in any config files named like newfile.php inside config folder. If you actually dont' want to change .evn content. and treat these all as variable/array element.

<?php

return [
    'PUSHER_APP_ID' => "",
    'PUSHER_APP_KEY' => "",
    'PUSHER_APP_SECRET' => "",
    'PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER' => "",
];

And get/set in controller like below

config(['newfile.PUSHER_APP_ID' => 'app_id_value']);//set

config('newfile.PUSHER_APP_ID');//get
