Why .env? --------- [](#why-env) **You should never store sensitive credentials in your code**. Storing [configuration in the environment](http://www.12factor.net/config) is one of the tenets of a [twelve-factor app](http://www.12factor.net/). Anything that is likely to change between deployment environments – such as database credentials or credentials for 3rd party services – should be extracted from the code into environment variables. Basically, a `.env` file is an easy way to load custom configuration variables that your application needs without having to modify .htaccess files or Apache/nginx virtual hosts. This means you won't have to edit any files outside the project, and all the environment variables are always set no matter how you run your project - Apache, Nginx, CLI, and even PHP 5.4's built-in webserver. It's WAY easier than all the other ways you know of to set environment variables, and you're going to love it! - NO editing virtual hosts in Apache or Nginx - NO adding `php_value` flags to .htaccess files - EASY portability and sharing of required ENV values - COMPATIBLE with PHP's built-in web server and CLI runner [More](https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv) **Install** ``` composer create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev ale10257/yii2-app-basic-with-env-settings . ``` **After install** ``` cd your/project cp example.env .env ``` Edit your settings in .env file ``` YII_DEBUG=true YII_ENV='dev' DB_HOST='localhost' DB_NAME='my_db' DB_USER='root' DB_PASSWD='' DB_CHARSET='utf8' # other environment settings ... ``` In your project, example: ``` 'dsn' => 'mysql:host=' . $_ENV['DB_HOST'] . ';dbname=' . $_ENV['DB_NAME']; ``` **Enjoy :)** ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 60% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community20 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity67 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~111 days Recently: every ~182 days Total 18 Last Release 2658d ago ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/1f7a16a8b9afbd7222ecacc9dfca006c08f1156e7c62531ebd6bd32e53661a8b?d=identicon)[AlexeyKulagin](/maintainers/AlexeyKulagin) --- Top Contributors [![qiangxue](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/993322?v=4)](https://github.com/qiangxue "qiangxue (147 commits)")[![samdark](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/47294?v=4)](https://github.com/samdark "samdark (114 commits)")[![cebe](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/189796?v=4)](https://github.com/cebe "cebe (80 commits)")[![Ragazzo](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1748844?v=4)](https://github.com/Ragazzo "Ragazzo (36 commits)")[![SilverFire](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4499203?v=4)](https://github.com/SilverFire "SilverFire (19 commits)")[![maximal](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/980679?v=4)](https://github.com/maximal "maximal (14 commits)")[![DavertMik](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/220264?v=4)](https://github.com/DavertMik "DavertMik (13 commits)")[![schmunk42](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/649031?v=4)](https://github.com/schmunk42 "schmunk42 (9 commits)")[![ale10257](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/20130612?v=4)](https://github.com/ale10257 "ale10257 (8 commits)")[![creocoder](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/896494?v=4)](https://github.com/creocoder "creocoder (7 commits)")[![lucianobaraglia](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/374554?v=4)](https://github.com/lucianobaraglia "lucianobaraglia (6 commits)")[![ricpelo](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/616169?v=4)](https://github.com/ricpelo "ricpelo (5 commits)")[![damasco](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1377554?v=4)](https://github.com/damasco "damasco (5 commits)")[![githubjeka](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/874234?v=4)](https://github.com/githubjeka "githubjeka (5 commits)")[![slavcodev](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/757721?v=4)](https://github.com/slavcodev "slavcodev (4 commits)")[![pana1990](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6630197?v=4)](https://github.com/pana1990 "pana1990 (4 commits)")[![mohorev](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4974062?v=4)](https://github.com/mohorev "mohorev (3 commits)")[![Naktibalda](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/395992?v=4)](https://github.com/Naktibalda "Naktibalda (2 commits)")[![janisto](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/387868?v=4)](https://github.com/janisto "janisto (2 commits)")[![ElisDN](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1673552?v=4)](https://github.com/ElisDN "ElisDN (2 commits)") --- Tags frameworkyii2project templatebasic ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/ale10257-yii2-app-basic-with-env-settings/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/ale10257-yii2-app-basic-with-env-settings/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/ale10257-yii2-app-basic-with-env-settings) ``` ### Alternatives [developeruz/yii-vue-app Yii 2 + Vue.js Basic Project Template 1221.6k](/packages/developeruz-yii-vue-app)[yii2mod/base Base application template for Yii2 531.3k](/packages/yii2mod-base) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
