README

Environment variable loader for the Tina4 PHP framework, reading .env files and exposing values as PHP constants and $_ENV entries.

Installation

composer require tina4stack/tina4php-env

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.1

Usage

Basic .env File

Create a .env file in your project root:

[Database]
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_NAME=myapp

[App]
APP_DEBUG=true
VERSION=1.0.0

Loading the Environment

use Tina4\Env;

// Loads .env from the project root
new Env();

// Access variables as constants or via $_ENV
echo DB_HOST;          // "localhost"
echo $_ENV["DB_NAME"]; // "myapp"

Environment-Specific Files

Set an ENVIRONMENT OS variable to load .env.{ENVIRONMENT} instead:

// If ENVIRONMENT=staging, loads .env.staging
new Env();

// Or force a specific environment
new Env("production"); // loads .env.production

Testing

composer test
