Consumer for .env files in PHP

Consumer for .env files in PHP

You want to use vlucas/phpdotenv but also need an env() helper function? This is the package you're looking for., _(*1)

Install

Via Composer, _(*2)

``` bash $ composer require fewagency/env, <sub>(*3)</sub>

## Usage
Add a `.env` file to the root of your project.
Read more about that [at `vlucas/phpdotenv`](https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv).

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

``` php
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()., <sub>(*4)</sub>

``` php \Fewagency\Env\Env::init();, <sub>(*5)</sub>

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

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