EnvLoader
=========

[](#envloader)

A PHP class to load environment variables from .env files

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install it using composer:

```
composer require adistoe/env-loader

```

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

Create a .env file or copy the .env.example (rename it to .env) and modify it as needed.
Then you can load the file with the following code:

```
EnvLoader::load('path/to/your/project/');
```

If no .env file exists in the given path, the EnvLoader will automatically search for a .env file in all subdirectories.

If the file is loaded correctly you can access your environment variables with over the php function:

```
getenv('NAME_OF_THE_VARIABLE');
```
