Array in .env file - rich8374 - 01-03-2020
I was hoping from the docs here: Treating Environment Variables as Arrays that I could access something in the .env file that used dot syntax as an array but it doesn't seem to work.[url=https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/general/configuration.html#treating-environment-variables-as-arrays][/url]
Here is an example, after copying the env file to .env and uncommenting the database.default section:
PHP Code:
$database = getenv('database');
var_dump($database);
$database just contains boolean false.
Is it possible to access everything prefixed with e.g. 'database' as an array?
Thanks.

It will not work because it does not have a namespace or class.

thanks but actually I think my fault was using the getenv command.
The following works:
PHP Code:
$database = config('Database');
var_dump($database);
and shows that database.default is an array
