'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
But it is not working, anyone can help me to get the solution
Error: null in place of username and poassword

Answer 1

Try to add this line
'default' => env('DB_DEFAULT', 'mysql')
instead place of
'default' => 'mysql'
And set DB_DEFAULT=mysql in .env file

Answer 2

You use default DB as 'default' => 'mysql'
But .env configs are going for pgsql in your config file.
So if you're going to use MYSQL, set this
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'horsi'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
for mysql section in your config.php
