Load PHP environment variables from .env (INI syntax) file only on $_ENV and runtime.
composer require melbahja/environSome env libraries load variables into $_SERVER and $_REQUEST, which is a stupid idea that can lead to expose credentials and insert sensitive information into log files. environ only load variables to superglobal $_ENV and runtime via putenv.
