Laravel 4 Config::get() returns null

Question

I am using laravel 4 and I have created a file inside app/config as follows : The file name is aws.php

<?php

return [


    'key' => 'xyz',
];

Now, from my controller I tried to access the key as follows :

$key = Config::get('aws.key');

but it returns null. How can I solve this problem ? I have googled it but have not found the solution.

Answer 1

You can access "key" by Config::get('aws.key'); but need to run this command: php artisan config:clear

Answer 2

try

$key = \Config::get('aws.key');

Config is not in the same namespace as class that call this facade, so You want to go to global namespace to search Config class
