Small .env file loader to load and manage Env variables for PHP project. It also has the functionality to load variables from .env.example iteractively

Installation

To install via composer, run:

composer install hindbiswas/phpdotenv

Load Env Variable

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

use Hindbiswas\Phpdotenv\DotEnv;

$dotEnv = new DotEnv(__DIR__); // Location where .env file exists
$dotEnv->load();

// To access variables
// getenv()
$variable_value = getenv('TEST_NAME');
// $_ENV[]
$variable_value = $_ENV['TEST_NAME'];

Generate from Example file

<?php

use Hindbiswas\Phpdotenv\DotEnvFromExample;

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

$env = new DotEnvFromExample();
$env->from(__DIR__ . '/path/to/example/');
$env->to(__DIR__); // This line is not required if destination an source is same
$env->put();

This will create a .env following the template of .env.example and if there are {{...}}, it will treat it as variable and ask for value. So,

if .env.example:

HOLA=amigos
OGENKI={{desuka}}

Now if the generator file is run: php generator.php It'll prompt for the value in place of {{desuka}} and use it's value in generated .env:

Enter the value for `desuka`  
>> 

So, putting value Hai will generate file:

HOLA=amigos
OGENKI=Hai
