Laravel 5.6 .env value resolving as (unknown)

I have these values in my .env file:

APP_IMG_PATH="/img/"
APP_IMG_LOGO="sclogo.png"

Then in my header I do this:

<img src="{!! env('APP_IMG_PATH') . env('APP_IMG_LOGO') !!}" class="navbar-logo"/>

But the log does not show and in Chrome Inspect I get 

<img src(unknown) class="navbar-logo">

I tried clearing config cache and recreating it:

php artisan config:cache;

But the result is the same. Any help is appreciated.

Config caching disables env() calls. Any call to env() will return null once the config is cached.

Perhaps a poor choice by the Laravel team, but the idea is to encourage you to use config(), not env() within your code.

Instead, add new lines to your config/app.php (if that's where you choose):

'img_path' => env('APP_IMG_PATH'),
'img_logo' => env('APP_IMG_LOGO'),

Then re-create your config cache and use config('app.img_path') and config('app.img_logo') within your application.

After addig new things to env file, you need to clear your cache.

php artisan config:clear
php artisan config:cache
