I upgraded laravel 5.1 to 5.2, everything looks good. But when try to access the app environment not getting what expected. 

When i dd($_ENV) this is what i get 
"APP_ENV" => "vagrant"
"APP_DEBUG" => "true"
"DB_HOST" => "localhost"  

But When dd(\App::environment());
"production"

P.S. even I checked in tinker: dd(env('APP_ENV')) gives me "vagrant"
but dd(\App::environment()) gives me "production".
Dont you think it is odd :(

This is wierd :(

Anyone face this problem ??

you missed a step in the upgrade process:

Configuration

Environment Value

Add an env configuration option to your app.php configuration file that looks like the following:

'env' => env('APP_ENV', 'production'),

P.S. You can check the value from the artisan command:

php artisan env

  • This did not work for me as expected when using [homestead](https://github.com/laravel/homestead), because there already was an `APP_ENV` variable populated via php-fpm which could *not* be overridden via .env file. I just wrote a more detailed explanation on the how's and why's [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/34838187/413531). Long story short: Make sure not to set any environment variables **outside** of .env files if you want to change them **via** .env files. – Hirnhamster Jan 17 '16 at 14:04

Sometimes when you changed in your .env file it does not take correct values from that, the problem is due to some configuration cache.Try running following commands, hope will work

php artisan config:cache
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
