README

Simple library to get environment variables converted to simple types.

Installation

This package is installable and autoloadable via Composer as oscarotero/env.

$ composer require oscarotero/env

Example

use Env\Env;

// Using getenv function:
var_dump(getenv('FOO')); //string(5) "false"

// Using Env:
var_dump(Env::get('FOO')); //bool(false)

Available conversions

• "false" is converted to boolean false
• "true" is converted to boolean true
• "null" is converted to null
• If the string contains only numbers is converted to an integer
• If the string has quotes, remove them

Options

To configure the conversion, you can use the following constants (all enabled by default):

• Env::CONVERT_BOOL To convert boolean values
• Env::CONVERT_NULL To convert null values
• Env::CONVERT_INT To convert integer values
• Env::STRIP_QUOTES To remove the quotes of the strings

There's also additional settings that you can enable (they're disabled by default)

• Env::USE_ENV_ARRAY To get the values from $_ENV, instead getenv().
• Env::USE_SERVER_ARRAY To get the values from $_SERVER, instead getenv().
• Env::LOCAL_FIRST To get first the values of locally-set environment variables.

use Env\Env;

//Convert booleans and null, but not integers or strip quotes
Env::$options = Env::CONVERT_BOOL | Env::CONVERT_NULL;

//Add one more option
Env::$options |= Env::USE_ENV_ARRAY;

//Remove one option
Env::$options ^= Env::CONVERT_NULL;

Default value

By default, if the value does not exist, returns null, but you can change for any other value:

use Env\Env;

Env::$default = false;

The env() function

You can use the env() function, like in Laravel or other frameworks:

use function Env\env;

var_dump(env('FOO'));
