Laravel 5获取APP_DEBUG环境变量

Question

On Laravel 5, on a blade template I want to @yield a part of code only if the environment variable APP_DEBUG is set to true. The code on the blade template is:

@if(env('APP_DEBUG') == 1)
    @yield('debugcontrols')
@endif

However no matter if I set APP_DEBUG=false on my .env the line env('APP_DEBUG') will always retrieve 1 while all other environment variables will retrieve its correct value.

How do I get the APP_DEBUG environment variable?

Note that all other environment variables print correctly, for example with,

APP_DEBUG=false
DB_HOST=localhost

The code,

{{ env('DB_HOST') }}
{{ env('APP_DEBUG') }}
{{ Config::get('app.debug') }}

will render,

localhost 1 1

Ok, I solved it, I can't believe it was so simple... The function env() does not gets the values from the .env file when called. Apparently the .env variables are stored somewhere so it is needed to close and start again the server with php artisan serve .
