laravel 5.8 returning false on getenv

I have updated application to Laravel latest version 5.8 and after update the getenv() function which returns env file variable value is returning false.

However when i used env() I am able to get the env variable value.

I have followed the official documentation and nothing is there which suggest to change from getenv() to env().

https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/configuration

Here suggesting to change to env from getenv()

PHP Dotenv

Please suggest if i need to change every reference of getenv to env or there is another way out.

There was specific version of laravel (5.8.4) where getenv was returning false, this has been updated in 5.8.5 or above.

The correct way to do it is by changing from getenv to env. Also, getenv doesn't have a second parameter to set a default value.
