I've tried: $hostname = env('DB_FIREBIRD_HOST'); // comes blank tried $hostname2 = $_ENV['DB_FIREBIRD_HOST']; gives me an error.

this is under function settings() from a class that extends report class TRAMSTEST extends KoolReport

I've added to config file 'DB_FIREBIRD_HOST' => env('DB_FIREBIRD_HOST'),

using laravel 8

thank you very much

You use in correct way env('DB_FIREBIRD_HOST') will return the environment value for DB_FIREBIRD_HOST. You try to echo the value to see how. Please make sure that your report is initiated inside controller's action (to make sure Laravel has been initiated)

thanks. For helping others, I created a config settings, moved everything to config and load from config. It worked perfectly!
