Dotenv Component
Symfony Dotenv parses .env
files to make environment variables stored in them accessible via $_SERVER
or $_ENV
.
Getting Started
$ composer require symfony/dotenv
use Symfony\Component\Dotenv\Dotenv;
$dotenv = new Dotenv();
$dotenv->load(__DIR__.'/.env');
// you can also load several files
$dotenv->load(__DIR__.'/.env', __DIR__.'/.env.dev');
// overwrites existing env variables
$dotenv->overload(__DIR__.'/.env');
// loads .env, .env.local, and .env.$APP_ENV.local or .env.$APP_ENV
$dotenv->loadEnv(__DIR__.'/.env');
