You don't need ,env file for heroku. Config variables is for that. I believe it's similar for other servers too.

Dealing with .env on Heroku
You can't manually create a file unless you do it locally and then push it using git. How do you go about creating the production .env? Config variables?
Level 65
Can even set ENV vars in Nginx and Apache.

If I go with using Heroku's Config Vars, env('APP_ENV') should still work, right?
Level 17
Yes env('APP_ENV') will work. You can set these vars in the dashboard or you can use the heroku toolbelt in command line to set them https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars

Ref: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.environment.php - If you want to know more about them.

Alright then, because I knew how environment variables worked back in L4, and now that L5 uses phpdotenv I wasn't sure everything worked the same under the hood.
Thanks!
