Getting config options from database instead of .env...

[skoontastic]

Just curious what the best way to grab settings from the database would be. I'm using Filament admin and the Spatie Settings package so that admins of a site can set their own LDAP options. However, I'm not able to use those settings in the config. I've tried setting the settings in a ServiceProvider at boot, which works to set the config setting since I can echo it out, but the Ldap connection doesn't recognize them.

Not able to reproduce this. I'm able to populate/overwrite the ldap.php config via config()->set() inside my AppServicePorvider which the LdapRecord service provider will then register a connection to.

Can you post all of your code?

1. Yes. If I manually enter it in the config file, or use the .env file, it works fine.
2. Yes.
3. No.

Couple more questions:

• Can you post your PHP/Laravel/LdapRecord-Laravel versions?
• Can you keep the hosts option as an empty array in the config/ldap.php file and try again?

Also, make sure you have removed the LDAP hosts env variable from your .env file as well 👍

Another oddity, if I put the 'hosts' key back in like 'hosts' => [env('LDAP_HOST')], it works again. So it's like it's not getting overridden before the LDAP connection happens.

PHP version: 8.0.12

Sorry, I forgot to mention I did try to put the 'hosts' key back in and deleted the variable from .env.
