README
If you have used Laravel and gotten used to being able to set and switch between environments as easily as swapping out a .env file.
Using mykehowells/dotenv
, you can now add that functionality to your own projects with composer.
Install via Composer
Add mykehowells/dotenv to your project via composer with the following line:
composer require mykehowells/dotenv
Add the below code to check for a .env file, and import if it exists. Preferably, you should store this file outside of any publicly accessible directories, as it will contain potentially sensitive data - such as database credentials.
Check out the vlucas/phpdotenv
readme for more info on that package.
/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ENV CONFIGURATION |----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Check to see if an env file exists at project root, if it does, import | keys and values into putenv( $setting ), otherwise env( $key, $default=null ) | will return default value. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ load_env( __DIR__ );
You can then start using the env( $key, $default = null )
function to retrieve data from your .env file.
