How to access custom postman headers in laravel projects?

Question

Laravel Project I have created a custom Postman header called company_code, and it works on my local development environment on my PC. However, when I deploy this project on a live server, the custom headers are not being received from the Laravel middleware.

Added company_code custom header

I am unable to retrieve the company_code from the Laravel middleware.

I tried using store value in larave config files but it's not working. I want how to access custom header in laravel project on live server.

"the custom headers are not being received from the Laravel middleware" - this can depend on how the app is being hosted. What is the webserver config like? Is it sitting behind a load balancer? etc... — kris gjika

You have to update your server configuration. Assuming you're on an Apache server, you have to update the .htaccess file to include the following rule.

RewriteCond %{HTTP:company_code} ^(.*)
RewriteRule .* - [e=HTTP_COMPANY_CODE:%1]

The Reason -

By default, Apache doesn't pass all HTTP headers to the application server. It only passes a standard set of headers. By adding the rewrite rule for "company_code", you're telling Apache - "If you see a header called "company_code", please make it available to the PHP application as if it were a standard header."
