Gbili DotEnv
A simple PHP package to load environment variables from a .env file. Comments within the .env file, starting with a #, are supported.
Installation
You can include this class in your project by copying the file, or use Composer if it's part of a package.
Usage
Loading Environment Variables
To load environment variables from a .env file located in the root directory of your project, use the load method:
use Gbili\DotEnv;
DotEnv::load(__DIR__);
The .env file should contain one environment variable per line, in the format VAR_NAME=value. Comments can be included, starting with a #.
Accessing Environment Variables
Once loaded, environment variables can be accessed using the $_ENV global variable:
echo $_ENV['VAR_NAME']; // Outputs the value
Handling Quotes
The removeOuterQuotes method in the class handles both single and double quotes around the values, allowing for flexibility in how you define your variables.
