How to comment in laravel .env file?
You use hash commenting:
# Test Settings
ACCESS_KEY=qwsdr
ACCESS_TOKEN=Bgcvfsx
# Live Settings
ACCESS_KEY=985AsdefG
ACCCESS_TOKEN=LFP994kL
Documentation: https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv#comments
Please note that as of Laravel 5.8 comment parsing in values has changed.
In Laravel 5.7 an .env file containing ENV_VALUE=foo#bar
would evaluate to foo#bar
.
In Laravel 5.8 the same .env file would evaluate to foo
instead, with #bar
being seen as a comment.
To use the #
character in a value, double quote the entire value like so ENV_VALUE="foo#bar"
.
