This is a PHP version of the original Ruby dotenv.

       /*

        * LOAD PHP DOT ENV FILE
        * --------------------------------------------------------------------
        *
        * And away we go...
        *
        */
       require_once BASEPATH . 'dotenv/autoloader.php';
   
       $dotenv = new Dotenv\Dotenv(__DIR__);
       $dotenv->load();
