README

You want to use vlucas/phpdotenv but also need an env() helper function? This is the package you're looking for.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require fewagency/env

Usage

Add a .env file to the root of your project. Read more about that at vlucas/phpdotenv.

Require the Composer autoloader - if not already included by your framework

require_once __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

Load the .env file and make the env() function global. If .env is not in your project root directory, you can specify a path to the directory as a parameter to init().

\Fewagency\Env\Env::init();

Then use the env() function to pull out environment variables with an (optional) default value.

$db_user = env('DB_USER', 'default_db_user');

Inspiration

We came across this package that did almost what we wanted to but not quite: https://github.com/oscarotero/env

Development

Run composer create-project to create the test .env from .env.example.

Run tests

$ composer test
