Problem
Determining your environment is complicated.
You need more flexibility than simply checking hostnames to determine the environment for your Laravel application.
Solution
Use a Closure to determine your environment.
Edit bootstrap/start.php and use a Closure to do the detecting.
$env = $app->detectEnvironment(function()
{
return getenv('_MY_ENVIRONMENT');
});
Discussion
There's multiple ways to detect your environment.
The $app->detectEnvironment() method can take either an array (as illustrated in the Environment Specific Configurations recipe) or a Closure.
When an array of 'env' => array('hostnames') is provided, if no match is found then the environment defaults to "production".
But if a Closure is provided then it must return something. There is no default.
