Configuration Database Eloquent

Let's say, i've defined

DB_DATABASE=one

but, there is a time i want to change database name connection using code below

putenv("DB_DATABASE=two");

the env changing but it seems that the connection doesn't change. Can someone explain this ?

Thanks

Because Laravel loads configuration once on the bootstrap.

You can change a behavior of the app loaders, but there are easier ways to change db connection in Controller.
