I was testing my system with Laravel 5.3:
For past few weeks my system was working fine. Since last weekend, I encountered the same error TWICE as below:-
Notice: Undefined variable: _ENV in C:\NewFolder\htdocs\project\vendor\vlucas\phpdotenv\src\Loader.php on line 303
Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in C:\NewFolder\htdocs\project\vendor\vlucas\phpdotenv\src\Loader.php on line 303
Loader.php:
public function getEnvironmentVariable($name)
{
switch (true) {
case array_key_exists($name, $_ENV): // line 303 here
return $_ENV[$name];
case array_key_exists($name, $_SERVER):
return $_SERVER[$name];
default:
$value = getenv($name);
return $value === false ? null : $value;
}
}

- When the above error appeared on the first time(when I loaded login page), I cleared my browser cache and history, the system managed to back to normal.
- When the same error appeared on second time(in the mid of testing process), I did the same as first time, cleared browser cache and history, but it could not helped, the error still show after I refreshed my browser. So I executed
php artisan view:clear
andphp artisan cache:clear
but still failed to get back to normal.
Anyone have any idea on why is this happening? Thanks
The version I used:
- OS: Window 7
- Browser: Mozilla Firefox
- PHP: 7.1.1
- Laravel: 5.3
