# Gbili DotEnv

A simple PHP package to load environment variables from a `.env` file. Comments within the `.env` file, starting with a `#`, are supported.

## Installation

You can include this class in your project by copying the file, or use Composer if it's part of a package.

## Usage

### Loading Environment Variables

To load environment variables from a `.env` file located in the root directory of your project, use the `load` method:

```php
use Gbili\DotEnv;

DotEnv::load(__DIR__);
```

The `.env` file should contain one environment variable per line, in the format `VAR_NAME=value`. Comments can be included, starting with a `#`.

### Accessing Environment Variables

Once loaded, environment variables can be accessed using the `$_ENV` global variable:

```php
echo $_ENV['VAR_NAME']; // Outputs the value
```

### Handling Quotes

The `removeOuterQuotes` method in the class handles both single and double quotes around the values, allowing for flexibility in how you define your variables.

## Methods

- `loadFromFile($filepath)`: Loads environment variables from a given file path.
- `removeOuterQuotes(string $string, $quote = "'")`: Removes outer quotes from a given string.
- `MUTATE_ENV_addEnvVars(array $variables)`: Merges the given variables into the `$_ENV` superglobal.
- `load(string $rootDir)`: Loads environment variables from a `.env` file in the given root directory.
