PHP dotenv in WordPress anyone?

    I’d like to use PHP dotenv with WordPress, so that I can easily keep my environment variables out of version control.

    Has anyone had any joy with this? Pretty sure it’s straightforward setting environment variables in PHP but not really my area of expertise.

    This is what I’m putting in wp-config.php:

    require 'vendor/autoload.php';
Dotenv::load(__DIR__);

    and then:

    define('DB_NAME', 'getenv('DB_NAME')');

    I’m using Composer to manage dependencies, hence link to autoload.php

    Ahh, I had a syntax error, should be:

    define('DB_NAME', getenv('DB_NAME'));
